{{Zimbabwe’s police have defied a court order to release a prominent human rights lawyer detained on Sunday, legal groups have said.}}
Beatrice Mtetwa’s continued detention showed the need to overhaul the police force ahead of elections, they said.
She was arrested with four officials from Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in the capital Harare.
Zimbabweans voted on a constitution on Saturday to usher in political reforms.
If approved, it will pave the way for presidential and parliamentary elections.
No date has been set for the elections, but they are expected to be held in July.
