Beatrice Mtetwa

Beatrice Mtetwa is a Zimbabwean lawyer who has been internationally recognized for her defense of journalists and press freedom. ''The New York Times'' described her in 2008 as "Zimbabwe's top human rights lawyer".
==Legal practice==
Mtetwa received her LLB from the University of Botswana and Swaziland in 1981 and spent the next two years working as a prosecuting attorney in Swaziland.〔 In 1983, she moved to Zimbabwe, where she continued working as a prosecutor until 1989.〔 That year, she went into private practice, and soon began specializing in human rights law.〔 In one of her more notable cases, she successfully challenged a section of Zimbabwe's Private Voluntary Organizations Act which allowed a government minister the authority to dissolve or replace the board members of non-governmental organizations.〔 She also challenged the results of 37 districts in the 2000 parliamentary elections.〔 In a PBS documentary, Mtetwa described her motives for her activism as "not because there is any glory or cash to it and not because I'm trying to antagonize the government... I'm doing it because it's a job that's got to be done".
Mtetwa is particularly noted for her defense of arrested journalists, both local and international.〔 In 2003, for example, she won a court order preventing the deportation of ''Guardian'' reporter Andrew Meldrum, presenting it to security officials at Harare International Airport only minutes before Meldrum's plane was scheduled to depart. She also won acquittals for detained reporters Toby Harnden and Julian Simmonds from London's ''Sunday Telegraph'', who had been arrested during coverage of the April parliamentary election on charges of working without government accreditation.〔 In April 2008, she secured the release of ''New York Times'' reporter Barry Bearak, who had been imprisoned on similar charges.〔 She also defended many local journalists arrested in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election.〔
