Artist Owen Maseko collected family photos of missing people, images of mine shafts where bodies were believed dumped and reports on an armed uprising after independence in 1980 in the western Matabeleland district that was crushed by troops loyal to Mugabe. Thousands of civilians were massacred in the fighting.
Attorney Kucaca Phulu said Monday that Maseko, his client, spent the weekend in jail on incitement charges after police shut down the exhibit in Bulawayo Saturday. Maseko was seeking bail Monday.
On Wednesday, police in Harare forced a human rights group to abandon a photo exhibit on political violence blamed on Mugabe's supporters.
