Entretanto, no Zimbabué...

I

Opposing the regime of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe is now a treasonable offence, campaigners were told today.

The warning came after the deputy leader of the opposition was arrested on a charge of treason for writing a simple election strategy.

II

The wife of a Zimbabwean opposition party member has been brutally murdered in what is being labelled as one the most grotesque atrocities yet committed by Robert Mugabe’s regime.

Dadirai Chipiro, wife of Patson Chipiro who heads the Zimbabwean opposition party in Mhondoro district, had a hand cut off as well as both of her feet before a petrol bomb was thrown through her window.

E o Europeu, huh? Aquilo é que é.
