truncheon

The court heard Morgan armed himself with a small truncheon and joined a "mob" who attacked police and damaged buildings on August 3.

The 16-minute film released on Friday included re-enactments involving guards in balaclavas and truncheons and looked like a crude attempt to pressure the German authorities into action.

Last month, an opposition press conference under the banner of "Don't Touch My Constitution" was broken up by police officers armed with truncheons.

Mr Luhaka said one officer proceeded to pull his trousers down and assault him with a truncheon.

He said policemen whose job was to control the crowds in front of the emergency department only carried truncheons.
