Emergency affirmed
Zimbabwe’s Parliament has extended for six months a state of emergency that has been in force for the last 21 years. The emergency, first introduced by the former Prime Minister, Mr lan Smith, in 1965, to stem a black nationalist war, gives security forces sweeping powers to detain indefinitely people seen as political or security risks. The Prime Minister, Mr Robert Mugabe, has renewed the powers every six months since taking power in 1980.—Harare.
