Zimbabwe Rights Groups Claim Opposition Crackdown
Zimbabwean human rights groups claim the government is cracking down on opposition members - quoting the "guilty" charge against lawmaker Job Sikhala for "obstruction of justice," as an example. The verdict against Sikhala has put him out of contention in the August 23 elections alongside opposition leader Jacob Ngarivhume, who is also incarcerated. For more, VOA’s Columbus Mavhunga produced this report where he detailed charges against the incarcerated opposition figures, and how government has responded to crackdown claims.
