A country has decided that foreign press is to be carefully regulated. I see no problem with that.

These two are accused of violating immigration and press laws. They will have to face the music.

I'm sorry? You're defending laws in a country where the rule of law ceased to exist a long time ago? In a country brutalised by the whims of an evil dictator?

Everyone knows Mugabe's media laws were enshrined to prevent as little coming out of the country as possible. Anyone vaguely critical of him was locked out.

Harnden and his photographer were very brave to sneak in and try to report on the truth. I believe in defending the law but sometimes it can be so abused and adulterated, as in this case, that it is indefensible to do so.
