More than 170 people have been killed in post-election violence in Cote d'Ivoire, according to the United Nations.

The world body's human rights office said hundreds more have been arrested after last month's disputed presidential election.

A spokesman for Laurent Gbagbo, the incumbent president, said the army is unified behind him despite international calls for him to step down.
