Zimbabwean police have fired tear gas at hundreds of opposition protesters on the streets of the capital, Harare, after a court banned a protest march.
The judge ruled an opposition stadium rally could go ahead but agreed with police warnings that a march would present a threat to public security.
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was detained for five hours then released ahead of the planned demonstrations.
He later accused the authorities of treating him like a "common criminal".
Mr Tsvangirai, who was arrested at his home in Harare early on Wednesday morning, addressed supporters at the rally site, Glamis Stadium, in the west of the capital.
