(...) hatte Charles D. McKinley, 25, sich in die Holzkiste gezwängt und von einem Helfer einnageln lassen. (...) McKinley, offenbar keine Leuchte in solchen Dingen, hielt das für einen glänzenden Einfall: Er würde als Frachtgut reisen und die Kosten seiner Firma aufdrücken. (...) Die Maschine, eine Boeing 727, hob ab um 23.53 Uhr. Im Frachtraum sank die Temperatur ziemlich schnell auf knapp über null; McKinley trug ein T-Shirt, darüber ein Sweatshirt. Er schnatterte, zitterte, japste nach Luft. Zwischendurch döste er weg; es kam ihm vor wie eine Ewigkeit, wahrscheinlich waren es nur ein paar Minuten. Sobald er wach war, fühlten die Bretter sich eisig an. Seine Beine waren taub. Der Rücken ein einziger verkrampfter Schmerz.

(...) there was irrefutable evidence that "children as young as 10 are forced to take part in torture and gang rape" by Mugabe's regime.(...) from Mugabe 'using rape as a tool'

(...) Hundreds of women and girls are being raped in rural Zimbabwe by President Robert Mugabe's youth brigades, a British newspaper reported on Sunday.

Girls as young as 12 are being raped, tortured and forcibly kept as concubines in camps in what human rights lawyers have branded "systematic political cleansing" of the population, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

A former militia member interviewed by the newspaper claimed he and others received orders to attack the wives and daughters of opposition sympathisers, the report said.

(...) Victims living in hiding told the newspaper how they had been gang-raped by police and war veterans and had their genitals burnt with iron rods.

They said the abuse was punishment for their parents not supporting Mugabe in the March presidential poll which returned him to power amid widespread allegations of fraud and voter intimidation.

In a country where some 40 percent of the population is HIV positive, rape can amount to a death sentence, the report said.

The report told of one 12-year old girl, in the Vumba mountains in eastern Zimbabwe, who was gang-raped by war veterans and policemen while her mother and younger sisters were forced to chant Mugabe's praises and watch the ordeal. (...) from Exposed: Zim's rape camps
