Call for international community to intervene in rights abuses in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, is calling on the international community to intervene in human rights violations in the country. This week - three women who had been picketing in Harare - were allegedly abducted by police officers. The trio - who are MDC members - say they were tortured and sexually assaulted before being released. They are recovering in hospital. Dewa Mavhinga is the Southern Africa Director with the Africa Division at Human Rights Watch. He now joins us via Skype from London.
