Dozens arrested at Zimbabwe lecture on impact of uprisings
Zimbabwean police detained 46 people, including a former politician, for attending a lecture and discussion group on mass uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, an independent lawyers group said.
Police confirmed the arrests at a meeting convened on Saturday by the Zimbabwe branch of the International Socialist Organisation where videos were shown and an agenda item allegedly asked: "What lessons can be learnt by the working class in Zimbabwe and Africa?"
