Two individuals have been arrested by the police in Zimbabwe following the death of an opposition supporter during political clashes at a campaign rally south of the capital, Harare, on Thursday.
A video circulating on social media showed members of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) fleeing the scene in vehicles while being pursued by a group of people throwing stones.
Local human rights monitors have reported an increase in violence and rights violations as the country prepares for general elections later this month.
The police are currently conducting investigations into the incident that resulted in the death of Tinashe Chitsunge.
Though official details are limited, eyewitnesses from CCC claim that they were heading to a pre-booked venue for a rally in Glen Norah. They allege that supporters of the ruling Zanu-PF party, who had gathered at the rally grounds, chased them away, tore up their campaign posters, and pelted them with stones.
They assert that Mr. Chitsunge was struck and fell to the ground, possibly being run over by a vehicle affiliated with CCC as it was fleeing the violence.
