Zimbabwe targets flag protesters with jail threat
None
HARARE- Zimbabwe's government has threatened to jail anyone who disrespects the national flag or sells it without permission, enraging activists who have used the banner as a rallying point for mass protests.
The state has been struggling to contain months of demonstrations against financial chaos and corruption - many of the rallies organised by the online #ThisFlag campaign.
Protesters have regularly waved the green, yellow and red flag and marched with it draped around their shoulders, answering pastor Evan Mawarire's call in an online video to take pride in their flag and the ideals it embodied.
