Churches warn of Zimbabwe 'genocide'
22/04/2008 - 10:21:03

Church leaders in Zimbabwe today warned that Robert Mugabe’s opponents were being tortured and murdered in a deliberate campaign that could reach “genocidal” proportions.

Leaders of all denominations called for international intervention to help end the country’s post-election crisis.

They also demanded the immediate announcement of results from the March 29 presidential election that long-time Mugabe is widely believed to have lost.

In a joint statement the leaders said “the nation is in a crisis.”
