LONDON - Zimbabwean exiles are to stage a demonstration outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London on Tuesday 1st March in support of a planned anti-Mugabe protest in Harare. The London demonstration will see Mugabe hanged from one of the maple trees outside the Embassy in protest at his decision to send Zimbabwean troops to support besieged Libyan President Gaddafi.
