<p>Zimbabwean police detained 46 people, including a former politician, for attending a lecture and discussion group on mass uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, an independent lawyers group said.</p>
<p>Police confirmed the arrests at a meeting convened on Saturday by the Zimbabwe branch of the International Socialist Organisation where videos were shown and an agenda item allegedly asked: &#8220;What lessons can be learnt by the working class in Zimbabwe and Africa?&#8221;</p>
<p>Police spokesman James Sabau told state radio that authorities would clamp down on any alleged plotters of &#8220;destabilisation&#8221; against the government.</p>
<p>The independent Lawyers for Human Rights said those detained in Harare and expected to appear in court were holding an &#8220;academic discussion&#8221; on North Africa and deny any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>The group said police were drafting charges against former opposition lawmaker Munyaradi Gwisai, an official of the International Socialist Organisation, and labour and student activists arrested with him.</p>
<p>Police said attendees called for solidarity with Egyptian and Tunisian workers and intended to incite Zimbabweans to hold demonstrations against three decades of authoritarian rule by president Robert Mugabe.</p>
