Description
Zimbabwe's parliament approves a controversial law that ostensibly promotes patriotism but is being condemned by the opposition as a "draconian" attempt to stifle dissent ahead of national elections. "What they are criminalizing is differing opinion against Zanu-PF,” says spokesman for the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party, Ostallos Siziba. In the most extreme cases, violators run the risk of up to 20 years in prison. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
