When you hear that opposition supporters in Zimbabwe have been beaten, what image comes into your mind?
Split lips? Bruised faces? Fractured jaws? Broken bones? All these things are being dished out by Mugabe's henchmen and much much worse. It gets to to stage where the words that the papers and news reports use to describe violence lose their meaning.
Conservativehome has two photographs of a women who was beaten across the buttocks as a punishment for supporting the MDC. If you think that beaten across the buttocks doesn't sound like too much of a punishment these pictures will change your mind, the pictures show truly horrific injuries. The Daily Mail felt that there were to gruesome to publish.
WARNING
These are very disturbing images, please be aware of this if you chose to click through.
Injuries sustained by Zimbabwe opposition supporter.

Truly, truly shocking.
I'm not a praying man, but I'd gladly go to church and plead with Providence to get rid of Mugabe. There's not a lot else we Brits can do - any intervention would be seized on by ZanuPF as justification (and regularly is - just read the Herald online.

Well done for linking to these pictures James - the world needs to know just how bad things are in Zim.
Any complacency I had has gone.
Where/what is our so called ethical foreign policy?
Do we realise, also that the generals in Burma are rounding up cyclone survivors and forcing them into labour camps?
