Security forces in the west African nation of Togo arrested opposition leaders and beat their followers Tuesday, moving out in force to quell protests of an election the longtime military ruler claimed to be winning. President Eyadema, Africa's longest-ruling leader, has often used the army and police to crush democratic challenges during his 36 years in power.
Supporters of Eyadema attacked a car of foreign journalists. An Associated Press photographer was beaten with a club and his camera and cell phones taken. He and an AP reporter were slightly injured by flying glass.
