Zimbabwe race-based farm seizure law upheld

Human Rights Watch has details on the human rights issues raised by the country's "fast-track land reform" plan, while PBS provides an overview of Mugabe's increasingly heavy-handed efforts to enable the executive branch to seize white-owned farms at will and without compensation.
