Opposition activists in Zimbabwe have said that they
were forced out of their homes and beaten for refusing to support President
Robert Mugabe, claiming that the attacks are 'state sponsored,' as the
police arrested those who complained, instead of helping them. Their claims come amid growing international concern about renewed political
violence in Zimbabwe.Barnabas, an activist speaking from a 'safe house' in
Harare, said: " They broke my arm and started hitting me along my spine with
a metal stake."
Shingai, another opposition activist said: " They came with petrol to my
house and threatened to burn me along with my family, but instead they just
beat me until I was unconscious."
