Harare: Leading Zimbabwean activist Evan Mawarire was arrested by armed police at his home in Harare on Wednesday in a widening security crackdown after violent anti-government protests. The nationwide protests were triggered by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s move to double fuel prices at the weekend as the country’s economic crisis deepens. “Armed police surrounded his residence,” Teldah Mawarire, his sister, said. “I was directly in contact with him until he was taken.” (AFP)
