The United States strongly condemned Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's suppression of protests and said on Monday it was shocked by attacks on opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and others.
"It is absolutely uncalled for and unfortunately certainly representative of the repressive nature of the Mugabe government that peaceful efforts to organize political groups and public demonstrations are suppressed and suppressed so brutally," said State Department spokesman Tom Casey.
The United States has for years been critical of Mugabe's leadership and relations between the two countries are tense.
Police detained Tsvangirai and dozens of other opposition figures on Sunday and shot a man to death while crushing a prayer meeting organized to defy a ban on political rallies.
Tsvangirai's lawyer said his client was "in bad shape" after suffering head injuries in police custody and rights groups alleged he and other politicians were tortured.
It is no wonder Africa is a fucking mess it's political leaders are killing eachother! This mans face looks like a fucking pitbull... EXTERMINATE THEM!
