Jailed in Zimbabwe: A reporter's ordeal
One of the cops gripped the cellphone. “You’re in terrible trouble,” he admonished. “Can you help me?” I whispered. He dropped his thumb it dropped to his side and used it to massage his forefinger, sign language for the universal lubricant of the greased palm. In a few minutes, I negotiated safe passage to the bathroom and left him $100 in my shaving kit.

The protest was also part of WOZA’s participation in the ‘make your vote count’ campaign. Ironically the peaceful protestors were met with brutal violence by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).
