Amnesty condemns violence

    JOHANNESBURG

    The international human rights organisation, Amnesty International has appealed to President Robert Mugabe to "ensure the protection of human rights" in that country.

    In a statement at the weekend, Amnesty International called on the president to condemn the human rights abuses that had taken place so far, to publicly state that all parties were free to hold rallies without intimidation from other party's supporters and to "especially call on Zanu-PF supporters to refrain from activities which would inhibit freedom of assembly and
    association, and to refrain from committing further human rights abuses in the build-up to the elections."
