schema:articleBody	A Zimbabwean freelance reporter for The New York Times has been denied bail over charges he provided fake media accreditation cards to help two foreign colleagues gain access to the country, his lawyer said Thursday. In a written ruling dated Tuesday, a magistrate in the southwestern city of Bulawayo ruled that Jeffrey Moyo, 37, posed a "threat to national security" and that there was a risk he would flee the country. The magistrate "made several gross misdirections in reaching her conclusion not to release the appellant," defence lawyer Doug Coltart told AFP, adding that he would be appealing against the ruling. "None of the allegations... show how public peace or security could be undermined by the release of the appellant," he said. Moyo was detained on May 26 and first appeared before a magistrate's court five days later, when he was remanded in custody. He had been due to appear in the magistrate's court on Thursday to answer the charge that he helped Christina Goldbaum and Joao Silva, two South Africa-based NYT reporters, illegally enter Zimbabwe for a week-long assignment last month. However, the written ruling meant the hearing was cancelled. Moyo denies the allegations. The NYT pair were expelled back to neighbouring South Africa four days after their arrival. The Zimbabwe Media Commission, which is responsible for issuing media accreditation, claims the journalists had been denied clearance to work in the country before leaving South Africa and their names did not appear on their accreditation register. The NYT said last month it was "deeply concerned" about Moyo's arrest, which "raises troubling questions about the state of press freedom in Zimbabwe." A trial date will be set after the high court bail ruling. str-sch/sn/pbr/ri
