HOLLYWOOD - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been labeled "colonial overlords" for the treatment they received in Namibia in the weeks leading up to the birth of their daughter last month.
Namibia's National Society For Human Rights (NSHR) accuses the superstar couple of "using heavy-handed and brutal tactics" to get the African country's government to aid their desire for total privacy.
A NSHR spokesman says, "To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power."
Jolie gave birth to baby Shiloh Namibia in Swakopmund on May 27.
