Zimbabwe Deports UN Torture Investigator
----------------------------------------



Zimbabwe has blocked a mission by a top United Nations human rights

invited by Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, the chief rival to
President Robert Mugabe. But Nowak was detained after landing in Harare
Wednesday and deported earlier today.
