HARARE, June 13 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's High Court on Friday ordered police to bring MDC Secretary General Tendai Biti to court and justify why they had arrested the opposition party official, Biti's lawyer told Reuters.

"The order we got is for him to be brought to court and for the police to show cause why they are holding him," Lewis Uriri said. He said Biti, facing a treason charge after his arrest on Thursday, was expected to appear in court at 0800 GMT Saturday. (Reporting by Cris Chinaka; editing by Paul Simao)
