Zimbabwe doctors protest at 'abduction' of union leader

Hundreds of doctors have marched through the Zimbabwean capital, Harare, to condemn the alleged abduction of their union leader.

Peter Magombeyi had organised a series of strikes over poor pay and working conditions in recent weeks.

On Saturday, he sent a WhatsApp message alleging he had been kidnapped by three men. He has not been seen since.

The doctors, many of them wearing white lab coats, waved placards and chanted slogans during Monday's march.

They said they would not return to work until Mr Magombeyi, the acting president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), was found.

It marked the second consecutive day that doctors had staged a walkout.

Some chanted "no Peter, no work" and "bring back Peter" as they made their way through the streets of the capital.
