Police block a National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) meeting scheduled to discuss the recently enacted Constitutional Amendment No. 3, according to reporting from both outlets. The meeting was prevented by police on Wednesday as NCA members sought to address the changes after the amendment was signed into law in recent days by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. During the disruption, police briefly arrested three NCA members linked to the meeting and detained them for several hours. The reports say the individuals were later released after police profiling. Both sources frame the incident as part of the tense atmosphere following the passage and signing of Constitutional Amendment No. 3, with opposition-linked groups arguing for public discussion of the constitutional changes. No additional details about charges or formal case proceedings are described in the available summaries. The accounts agree on the key sequence: the meeting is blocked, three members are arrested temporarily, and they are released after a period in custody.
