HARARE, Oct 29 (Reuters) - United Nations human rights expert Manfred Nowak, who was detained by security officials on arrival in Zimbabwe on Wednesday, has been deported from the country, a U.N. official said on Thursday.

"We are boarding the plane to Johannesburg now," the official said by mobile phone from Harare airport. Nowak said on Wednesday he had been invited by Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to the country where a power-sharing deal between Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe is under severe strain.
