Mugabe regime goes back on deal over activists

[Sneeky]

Our governments best pal and his henchmen hard at work.
I hope we are proud of ourselves.

Doctors' affidavits seen by the Guardian reveal a pattern of torture of many of the 30 political and human rights activists held by the state for months. Nine of the prisoners seen by doctors were subjected to simulated drowning, being hung by their wrists in handcuffs and beaten, and high-voltage electric shocks.

One man was hung upside down from a tree and dumped into a water-filled drum until he passed out.

We all knew it was happening, and nobody is going to say or do anything about it. As usual.

Is this the same government that has lots to say about Gitmo?

Can anyone say Vlakplaas, Eugene de Kock!

I guess it must be OK this time cause a whitey is not the perpetrator.

Dude, you just gotta get these chaps to talk, or how else are you going to be able to legally put them in jail? Get real!

Dude, they have been 'talking' for a decade.
In that time Zimbabwe has set some records that no country would be proud of.

The mere fact that Mr Mugabe was effectively democratically voted out of power, and still remains at the helm is somewhat disturbing. That our government, endorses this is astonishing.

Wake up, smell the roses 'dude'.
