U.S puts sanctions on Zimbabwe

July 1, 2008

Pressure's growing on the Mugabe regime, as America pushes for sanctions.

It wants the UN to order an arms embargo and travel bans for those who helped Zimbabwe's president beat his way back to power.

Foreign Office minister Lord Malloch-Brown says many African leaders hoped he wouldn't turn up for their conference taking place in Egypt.

Human rights activist, Albert Weidemann, tells Premier more restrictions on the country are still needed.
