The editor of Zimbabwe's only independent daily newspaper has been arrested. The paper reported that police vehicles were used for the looting of white-owned farms.
Geoff Nyarota, editor-in-chief of the Daily News, was arrested at his home and is being held at Harare's central police station. The newspaper has in the last couple of years published wide-ranging allegations of corruption and mismanagement against President Robert Mugabe's 21-year-old government.
The country has this week faced some of its worst violence from pro-government militants who illegally occupied white-run farms in the north west of the country.
