HARARE, May 16 (Reuters) - A Zimbabwean court on Friday ordered police to allow an opposition MDC rally planned for Sunday to go ahead, a party spokesman said.

"We have just been granted an order to stop police from interfering with our rally, which will take place on Sunday. This is a crucial meeting, which is president (Morgan) Tsvangirai's first since our victory," MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said.

Police banned the rally, planned to take place in Zimbabwe's second city of Bulawayo, on Thursday.
