Zimbabwe: Police Statement On Standard 'Gun Shot' Story

The Standard is working on a follow-up story to consolidate the lead story of September 18 - 24 about the police opening fire using live ammunition to quell protests. The story will be published in the next edition of The Standard on Sunday.

Police last Sunday refuted the story and accused The Standard of unprofessionalism and "openly" pursuing a political agenda among other journalistic felonies. We however stand by our story and restate that police indeed opened fire to quell spreading protests last Saturday.
