Zimbabwe MPs removed from parliament after refusing to stand when president entered - video

Police in Zimbabwe have forcibly removed some opposition members of parliament after they refused to stand up for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Parliamentary speaker Jacob Mudenda on Thursday asked the opposition members to leave the chamber, accusing them of disrespect. When they refused, he called in the police and scuffles ensued. The opposition accuses Zimbabwe's electoral commission of rigging the July 30 election that saw Mnangagwa winning by a narrow margin.
