Human rights group uncovers evidence of torture in Zimbabwe

摘要

Evidence of severe torture in Zimbabwe, which is experiencing unrest in the weeks leading up to the country's presidential election in March, has been uncovered by a human rights organisation. A delegation from Physicians for Human Rights, Denmark, which visited Zimbabwe last month, has reported finding "a series of persons who gave consistent and similar accounts of exposure to torture." Members interviewed 14 people, of whom four were classified as torture victims, while another four gave accounts of ill treatment, one of whom was a sitting MR The four torture victims had physical wounds consistent with the accounts of their treatment.
