Zimbabwe's reelected president says there's democracy. But beating and torture allegations emerge

In Zimbabwe, there are growing concerns of brutal oppression against the opposition party, including arrests and violence, despite President Mnangagwa's claims of peace and tolerance.
The recent violent incident involved a newly elected opposition councilor and a relative, who were shot with a stun gun, handcuffed, and later dumped naked near a river. The opposition party faced intimidation and arrests following disputed national elections.
The ongoing repression and lack of reform in Zimbabwe indicate a persistence of governance issues, with opposition figures facing abduction, torture, and arrest post-election.
