Scores of Zimbabwe opposition supporters detained in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe police are detaining at least 75 opposition supporters for offences linked to a strike last week to force the release of results from last month's presidential poll, their lawyer said Sunday.
"There are at least 75 detained as we speak," Alec Muchadehama, the lawyer for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), told AFP.
"They were arrested since Tuesday. Some were literally abducted from their homes. Police were literally hunting down anyone who has connections with the MDC..." he said.
The police were not available for comments on Sunday.
They, however, said on Friday that they had arrested 78 MDC youths.
Muchadehama said at a point there were at least 120 MDC supporters and family members detained in connection with the strike but some were released after paying fines.
"The ones who remain in custody are being charged with attempted murder, disorderly conduct and malicious damage to property. It is an assortment of charges literally being thrown at them," he said.
