TV documentary shows Zimbabwe prisoners too weak to stand

TV documentary shows Zimbabwe prisoners too weak to stand

Newly released images that provide a rare look inside a Zimbabwean prison show emaciated inmates too weak to stand and eating as if they can barely bring food to their mouths.

Human rights activists and former prisoners have spoken of horrifying conditions in the country's jails and prisons but there has been little firsthand evidence available.

Producer Godknows Nare spent four months on the behind-the-walls documentary, training insiders to capture the footage. His work, Hell Hole, aired on Tuesday on SABC, the South African state broadcaster.
