Zimbabwe police have been co-opted to try to force a religious sect to have its children vaccinated against measles.
Members of an apostolic sect have been locking their sick children in huts or hiding them in the hills to evade vaccination.
The Health Ministry said at least 41 people have died of measles, many of them children, since the outbreak began last month.
Members of the Johannes Marange sect’s beliefs allow them only to pray and use holy water to treat measles.
