At question time in Zimbabwe’s Parliament session on Wednesday, Zimbabwe’s Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa, responding to a question on prisoners dying of hunger and cholera in Chipinge Prison, said that there had been cases of dysentery, now under control.  He admitted that there was malnutrition due to inadequate funding but said that they were working on this with the Ministry of Health.  He rejected a proposal for amnesty/parole for all terminally ill patients.
