Judge in South Africa says the government must investigate alleged atrocities committed by officials in Zimbabwe.

A high court judge in South Africa has given hope to some Zimbabweans, when he ruled that under international law, his country had a duty to investigate crimes against humanity committed by officials in Zimbabwe -- even arresting them if they enter the country.
The government has appealed that decision.
