Even America's neo-cons describe Zimbabwe as an 'outpost of tyranny'. However that has not stopped the home office from announcing its intention to start deporting refugees back to Mugabe's torture chambers. The home office is under pressure from the government to meet it's deportation targets and Zimbabwe has been out of the news for long enough for them to think that they can get away with it. The 300 demonstraters who attended Saturday's demo said that if anything Zimbabwe is now more dangerous for opposition activists than it has ever been. Speeches were made in support of the refugees by Jeremy Corbyn MP, The NUJ deputy president and Respect. There were also some very emotional first hand accounts of repression suffered by activists and journalists under the Mugabe regime. There seemed to be no media interest at all from the mainstream British media despite their eagerness to run front page headlines whenever a white farmer gets killed out there. The demo ended with a number of protest songs. They would have been beaten and imprisoned for singing the same songs in their own country.
