Amnesty film reveals Zimbabwe slum horror

Amnesty International today released new secretly-filmed footage from Zimbabwe revealing the “desperate plight” of people it said were made homeless by the government’s slum clearance policy.

The images, which had to be smuggled out of the African country, show a squalid makeshift camp with tents fashioned from flimsy sheeting, people queuing for water, and children playing on the ramshackle site.
