Reports of increasing incidents of torture against members of Zimbabwe's political opposition are circulating after rural elections came to an end this weekend. Witnesses say that a number of those arrested - including an opposition MP - have been assaulted and are in need of medical attention. Meanwhile, the ICFTU caught up with Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions Secretary General, Wellington Chibhebhe, to talk about the challenges for trade unions and for democracy in Zimbabwe.
