LATEST: Zimbabwe rights commission says 8 killed

The government-backed Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission says it has documented eight deaths in a days-long crackdown on protests over a dramatic fuel price increase.

The constitutional body’s statement on Tuesday came hours after President Emmerson Mnangagwa cut short an overseas trip to return home and announced that violence by security forces would be investigated.

The rights commission criticises the use of the military and live ammunition and says the government has not learned from the deadly post-election crackdown in August in which six people died.

The commission says the government should “ensure compensation for those that have been victims of military and police brutality”.
