Harare - Zimbabwe riot police detained a dozen opposition protesters and beat up others at a demonstration on Wednesday over high unemployment, an AFP correspondent witnessed.

Police armed with batons descended on a protest of around 100 members of opposition Movement for Democratic Change in the capital Harare, days after its party leader warned of nationwide demonstrations.
