Zimbabwean Churches Appeal For Help to Solve Election Crisis
Zimbabwean church leaders say people are being abducted, tortured and murdered in a campaign against the country's main opposition party. In a statement Tuesday, a coalition of Christian churches appealed for international help, saying the violence could reach genocidal proportions if nothing is done.Last week, Human Rights Watch said Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party is using informal detention centers to beat and torture supporters of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. Zimbabwe's government has denied all accusations of state-sponsored political violence. The state-run Herald newspaper today quoted Zimbabwe's justice minister Patrick Chinamasa as saying anyone with information about such violence should contact police. Posted by: Fred 2008-04-23 |
