Opposition supporters in Zimbabwe now face even more danger of abuse and persecution: "vicious" mercenaries, from nearby countries such as Kenya and Uganda, have been recruited by Mugabe to step up the pressure on MDC supporters.
Eyewitnesses report that the men are more bloodthirsty even than the Zimbabwean militiamen, routinely "cutting out the tongue, removing eyes and genital parts.": not normally local 'practices'. These new groups incite even more fear against defying the Mugabe regime, as they reportedly "know no bounds": with other sickening reports of gang-rape and abduction of young women also common.
The death toll stands at over 100, but it is as yet impossible to determine the number who have suffered a worse fate, with reports of brutal torture and rape commonplace.
