Socratoad says:

The lack of food was "really critical," with half the population, including close to 2 million children, "facing starvation," according to the account on the World Council of Churches (WCC) website. He described his jail experience as "terrifying."

And every one as precious to his or her grandpa as my little 2 year old grandson is to me. What tragedy!

Prosper Munatsi, general secretary of the Student Christian Movement of Zimbabwe, arrived in Geneva after spending 24 hours in a Zimbabwean prison, the result of a crackdown on religious groups, he said. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/215128,young-zimbabwean-lobbies-international-community-over-violence.html">He had been due to report on the political and humanitarian crisis first-hand to the Human Rights Council but was arrested when the Harare Ecumenical Centre, where several Christian groups have their offices, was raided by Zimbabwe police and security forces. <P></P>Munatsi had told church leaders "the violence is really out of hand" and had spread from the mainly rural areas to the rest of the country. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/09D310FE-D2EC-4745-8C01-786DDD7EA9C3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
