Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has joined dozens of protesters in a march through the capital, Harare, to mark one year since the abduction of anti-government activist Itai Dzamara, the Associated Press news agency reports.

Mr Tsvangirai accused the government of using forced disappearances to silence critics of President Robert Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since 1980.
The march only proceeded after a judge overturned a police ban on the event, the AP says.
Mr Dzamara, a former newspaper reporter, was grabbed by assailants when he was in a barbershop and was bundled into a waiting car, his family says.
Two days before his abduction, Mr Dzamara said at a rally organized by Mr Tsvangirai that Zimbabweans should rebel against Mr Mugabe, AP reports.
The government has denied that its security services abducted him. Police say they are still searching for leads.
