Tsvangirai undergoes brain scan 'after beating'

Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader today said police beat him repeatedly in the head, back, knees and arm and that he lost a lot of blood in an attack that seemed intended “to inflict as much harm as they could”.

Morgan Tsvangirai, who remains in hospital, underwent a brain scan, and his lawyer said he may have suffered a skull fracture and internal bleeding as a result of police beatings.
