As can be seen from Figure C below, the worst month for torture in 2004 was February, during which there was the violent disruption of a demonstration of the National Constitutional Assembly, and extreme violence on Charleswood Estate, the property of the MDC MP, Mr Roy Bennett. If this month is excluded from the analysis then torture was once again higher during months when by-elections took place.
