Petroc Trelawny - Zimbabwe detention

When something like this happens, the broadcasting fraternity holds its breath. An incident which could have been altogether more serious than it turned out.

Petroc Trelawny from BBC Radio 3 was arrested in Zimbabwe in May 2012 on the grounds of supposedly being in the country illegally. His small cell was just that, although his many co-inhabitants treated him well.

A few hours after detention, he injured himself, which resulted in his transfer to hospital. Altogether, he was in custody for six days; although as this interview on Five live confirms, he was well-treated and thus stoic about the whole incident.
