'Chilling effect' of Zimbabwe 'media repression'

The International Federation of Journalists has called on the Zimbabwean government to end its attacks and harassment of journalists. Gabriel Baglo, director of the IFJ's Africa office, spoke of "a pattern of media repression", adding: "Violent attacks on journalists and other media workers are having a chilling effect." In the latest incident Boldwill Hungwe, a photographer with The Standard, fled into hiding after being ordered by police to turn himself in for taking pictures of a lawyer who had been severely injured during interrogation.
