The editor of Zimbabwe's only independent daily newspaper has been arrested over a report of alleged police complicity in the looting of white-owned farms.
"Detectives detained editor Mr Geoff Nyarota and drove him from his home to the main Harare police station," said Associated Newspapers chief executive Mr Muchadeyi Masunda.
Lawyers who have sought access to Mr Nyarota are unclear what the charge might be.
In a front page report on looting of farms in northern Zimbabwe, The Daily Newsreported allegations that police vehicles were used by ruling party militants in what it called "well orchestrated acts of lawlessness" on the farms.
In a week of violence in the Chinhoyi corn and tobacco district, at least 30 homesteads have been looted and white families have been evacuated from about 100 farms.
The unrest began after the arrest of 21 white farmers on allegations of violence and assault against squatters and ruling party militants illegally occupying their land.
In April, Mr Nyarota and two of his reporters were questioned and charged with defaming President Robert Mugabe.
The newspaper last year linked President Mugabe and Parliament Speaker Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa to awards of contracts for a new international airport outside Harare that allegedly favoured politicians, ruling party supporters and their business associates.
