Zimbabwe police arrested more than 100 people during a crackdown on an anti-government protest, witnesses said.

The leader of the protest, an outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe, said he had been assaulted and severely injured on Wednesday while leading the demonstration, which was illegal under Zimbabwe law.

Lovemore Madhuku, the chairperson of pressure group National Constitutional Assembly (NCA), said police had detained 116 people in central Harare where the NCA was to hold a demonstration to press its demands for constitutional reforms.
