Sadc Summit: Stop and search, ‘curfew’, increased arrests

POLICE in and around Harare have been preventing public transporters getting into the city centre and searching commuters as the crackdown on dissent intensified ahead of today’s Sadc Heads of State and Government Summit.

This comes as an official curfew seems to have kicked-in in the capital.

Adding onto the latest incidents is the arrest of 13 opposition and pro-democracy activists yesterday.
