"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

This is the type of regime enforced by supporters of the poor victim of colonialism Comrade Bob Mugabe.

"The game we are about to play needs music," the Zimbabwean police constable said to the12-year-old girl. But as he tossed a mattress on to the ground it was clear that it was no game he was planning.

For the next four hours the girl's mother and younger sisters, aged nine and seven, were forced to chant praises to President Robert Mugabe and watch Dora being gang-raped by five "war veterans" and the policeman.

"Every time they stopped singing, the policeman and war vets beat them with sjamboks and sticks," said Dora, crying and clenching her hands repeatedly as she recalled the ordeal that took place behind her family hut in a village in the dark shadow of the Vumba mountains of Manicaland, in eastern Zimbabwe. "They kept thrusting themselves into me over and over again saying: 'This is the punishment for those of you who want to sell this country to Tony Blair and the whites.' When they had finished, it hurt so much I couldn't walk."
