LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) - Human Rights Watch on Tuesday urged southern African leaders to send monitors to Zimbabwe to investigate the clampdown on the pro-democracy movement and the growing spiral of violence and intimidation against activists.
The message came ahead of the Southern African Development Community summit, taking place in Zambia on Thursday and Friday, which is expected to discuss the worsening political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe.
South African President Thabo Mbeki is due to report on his efforts to mediate between Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
