Irish aid workers defies Mugabe

An Irish aid worker, who is defying President Robert Mugabe, says Zimbabwe is in chaos ahead of weekend elections.

Mary Sweeney of Trocaire has arrived in the capital Harare to monitor the polls and to advise local human rights groups amid reports of beatings, torture and murder.

She says the Mugabe regime is trying to limit the number of polling stations and is preventing suspected opposition supporters from voting.
