Location:	Vol.30 No.96 (June 2003), p328

The Congress of South African Trade Unions condemns the continued brutal repression of activists, through arrests, beatings and torture, by the government of Zimbabwe, following the two-day general strike on 18-19 March, organised by the opposition MDC. In COSATU's view, those participating in the strike were exercising their right to protest in support of democracy and their socio-economic demands and were not subverting the government.
