Mugabe's attack on judges and journalists fails to stifle dissent

Article Abstract:

The government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has been taking firm action against journalists who make claims about corruption or human rights abuses. It has also announced that restrictions will be placed on foreign investment in the media, alleging that such investment is politically motivated.
