Arrested for circulating anti government email messages

Fourteen people have been arrested in Zimbabwe for circulating an e-mail calling for protests to oust President Robert Mugabe, state media reports.

In the neighbouring Rwanda, the editor and senior journalists from the independent newspaper, Umuseso, have been taken into custody following the publication of articles critical of the government.

It may be recalled that a few weeks back there was a similar attack on the freedom of press in India which prides in being the biggest democracy in the world.
