| Abstract |
This report documents how the settlement of Porta Farm was destroyed. Residents watched helplessly as bulldozers and police officers in riot gear reduced their homes to rubble. Police officers reportedly threatened the residents, saying anyone who resisted eviction would be beaten. The destruction of Porta Farm went on all day - only ending when darkness fell. Thousands of people were forced to sleep outside in the rubble in mid-winter. The next day, the police returned to continue with the demolitions. They also began to forcibly remove people on the back of trucks.| | Documents on Operation Murambatsvina
