Police charge women protestors in Zimbabwe

Baton-wielding Zimbabwe police charged women demonstrators marking United Nations’ International Women’s Day in the city of Bulawayo, injuring six and arresting 19, witnesses said.

The extent of the injuries was not immediately known, but some of the women were taken to the hospital bleeding and bruised, said Jenni Williams, who helped organise the march in Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe and an opposition stronghold.
