The United Nations on Friday urged Zimbabwe not to crack down on peaceful protesters, afterand beat up more than a 100 opposition supporters with batons moments earlier, after they defied a protest ban in central Harare, according to witnesses.

In Geneva, a spokesperson for the UN Human Rights agency, Rupert Colville, urged the authorities, not to crackdown on peaceful protesters and to ensure that people’s right to freedom of expression is respected. There had also been reports of surveillance of such people, and also reports of attacks and arrests of prominent activists and civil society leaders who were taking part in organizing today protests.

The gathering was banned by police on Thursday, and the MDC called the protest off early on Friday after armed police barred access to the party’s Harare offices and its court appeal against the ban failed, but more than 100 MDC supporters defied the order.
