Zimbabwe to ban rights groups
http://dw-world.de/english
Zimbabwe's government plans to introduce a new law that would ban
international human rights groups from working there. The proposed
bill would also shut down aid groups and local charities by
preventing them from receiving foreign funds. The law is expected to
be passed by parliament when it reconvenes in early October.
Parliamentary elections in Zimbabwe are scheduled for March next
year.
