Sikhala hospitalized after assaults by police

Job Sikhala, president of the MDC 99 party, was admitted to a hospital in
Harare on Thursday, a day after being granted bail on unspecified charges.
Sikhala was arrested last Friday by heavily armed police and spent 5 days in
detention. The former MP for St Mary’s told SW Radio Africa that he was
assaulted by intelligence agents while in police custody and is not able to
walk unassisted. He said x-rays taken on Thursday revealed that he had a
broken bone near the spine.
