http://www.hrw.
The Ugandan government should immediately allow radio stations and
programming that it closed down after protests in Kampala last week to

said.

ZIMBABWE: MISA CONCERNED BY ZANU-PF HATE-SPEECH
http://www.swradioa
Media watchdog, the Media Institute for Southern Africa – Zimbabwe, has
expressed grave concern over the upsurge of hate speech against the
private media and perceived opponents, by members of ZANU PF and the state
controlled media. Earlier this week army commander, Lieutenant-General
Phillip Valerio Sibanda, berated foreign based Zimbabwean radio stations,
accusing them of being at war with Zimbabwe and urged the military to
'guard against them'. This has been widely seen as meaning that
journalists broadcasting into Zimbabwe are legitimate military targets
because they threaten the state.
