15 Zimbabwe journalists on 'hit list'

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has called on the government of Zimbabwe to guarantee the safety of 15 journalists named on a hit list that appears to have been leaked from official sources. The journalists are accused of working with "hostile anti-Zimbabwean western governments". Among those on the list are Foster Dongozi, secretary general of the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists; Abel Mutsakani, a former editor of the banned Daily News who survived an assassination attempt in South Africa in July; Gift Phiri, a correspondent of The Zimbabwean; and Bill Saidi, deputy editor of the The Standard.
