LONDON (AP) - Zimbabwe's government cleared out camps for those it made homeless in a so-called urban cleanup campaign, then secretly moved their inhabitants to the outskirts of the capital in even worse conditions, a human rights group said Saturday.
Amnesty International released footage it said had been smuggled out of Zimbabwe. The footage showed people sheltering in an area known as Hopley Farm under little more than blankets and sheets of plastic and lining up with buckets at a mobile water tank.
According to the human rights group, the government moved the refugees to the area the same day a U.N. investigator condemned conditions in the camps where they had been living before. Amnesty said there was no shelter or toilets at the camp and limited access to running water.
