16/08/2019 Zimbabwe alert

Zimbabwe's police used tear gas and beatings to quell anti-government\pro-MDC protests in the capital. Several people were arrested in the protests that were sparked by the party's banning early that week.

The MDC deputy leader, Tendai Biti, said his party would not launch an appeal, but that the ban had exposed the government's "true colours".
