A group formed in London has joined the battle to overturn the silencing of Zimbabwe’s only independent daily newspaper, The Daily News, using two weapons: trying to shame the supreme court judges who shut down the paper two weeks ago, and encouraging protests, particularly in the 19 other African members of the 54-nation Commonwealth. "Whether it will work we don’t know. But we are looking at how you put pressure on a government that is not open to peer pressure," said Lindsay Ross, executive director of the Commonwealth Press Union, and an organiser of the Friends of The Daily News.
