As part of our coverage of the Zimbabwe crisis, we've been airing the comments of Sky News viewers from inside the country.
One viewer has sent me their personal experience of living under Robert Mugabe's regime.
The viewer has supplied their name but added: "I am not willing to give my full name or those that are mentioned for fear of being targeted."
When you read the story and see the pictures, you will understand why.

We as a family have experienced the violence directly by Zanu-PF's little lot, known as the Green Bombers, Militia or War Veterans.
My in-laws are the wardens at a retirement village in the northern suburbs of Harare. The average age of the 44 elderly people that live there is 83.
On Friday June 13th at 6.30pm, a gang of 30 war veterans came into the village looking for the warden and his lawyer,(who is also an elderly man who lives within the village). The gang consisted of men and women between the ages of 18 to mid-30s.
They attacked my father-in-law with batons and hose pipe with chains through the middle for over an hour. They also slapped my mother-in-law about.
My father-in-law was made to walk around the property in search of the lawyer. However, the lawyer had already heard the noise and locked all his doors. This was followed by a visit back to the cottage where my in-laws live where they were forced to stick Zanu-PF posters up in their lounge.
We have taken pictures of my father-in-law so that you can view the horrendous beating he received.
Having been beaten up, my father-in-law was told to attend a Zanu-PF rally the following morning, together with his workers, and was threatened that if he did not attend, they would return again. Obviously they didn't go and have since gone into hiding at our home.
There is no law and order in Zimbabwe anymore. The police were called and they did arrive shortly after. However, we have not heard from them since and at the time could give us no answer as to whether there was anything we could do about what had happened.
The British Embassy and the SADC observers have been helpful and are keeping records of all that has happened for future reference.
We feel that Morgan Tsvangirai has made the right decision. The violence here is horrendous, people are being beaten in the suburbs as well now. God knows what happens in the rural areas although many stories are surfacing of rapes and terrible beatings, including people being burnt alive in their homes.
We are not willing to back down. We will stay here until we are forced to leave. However our in-laws are now seeking to move back to the UK.
We do fear for the future.
I was born and raised in Oxford, UK, and only moved to Zimbabwe eight years ago when I married a white Zimbabwean in England and felt that we would have a better future in Africa.
This country really is a beautiful place. There is only one man, a dictator ruining it. For the most part, the local people are friendly and happy people, who have been made to suffer beyond anyone's imagination.
Finally, as I am sure you are aware, Zimbabwe was once a colonial country and I personally feel that this has left many chips on people's shoulders here.
Regardless of what the British say, the people here will not listen. It must come from the surrounding African countries, and, of course, China. However, these countries are benefiting tremendously as we are now having to import most of our goods. Thabo Mbeki, who most feel is an old friend of Robert Mugabe, must do something, although this is unlikely.
All this week on Sky News, we are looking at the British operation in Afghanistan.
There's been a big response to Barack Obama's claim that he is the
