New York Times reporter Barry Bearak was released, on bail, by Zimbabwean authorities after being detained for penning a critical (factual?) article on Robert Mugabe. Bearak originally requested to keep his byline off the piece, for fear of retribution, but later allowed it to be included. "Under the terms of his bail, Mr. Bearak was released to a clinic; he suffered some injuries to his back as the result of a fall from the concrete bunk in his dark, crowded cell to the floor, seven feet below, Mr. Nkomo said. Mr. Bearak’s passport was confiscated, and he was required to put up 300 million Zimbabwe dollars as bail, about $10,000 at official exchange rates but only about $7 at black market rates."
