Bad BAd BAD news in Zimbabwe, again.A day or so ago, the main presidential opposition contender was detained for several hours, being told that there's a prohibition on campaigning, even though the so-called run-off election is only a few weeks away.And here's a report from AP i think: U.S. and European Embassy officials out on a fact-finding investigation into political violence targeting opposition supporters was itself attacked and a U.S. Embassy official was reportedly beaten. Apparently, they are still being held!http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080605/ap_on_re_af/zimbabweThe election is widely believed to have bee won by the opposition but the official electoral commission held the results for a month or so even though they were supposed to give the results in a few days or weeks.Following in the footsteps of Kenya!These "electoral commissioners" assets should be frozen and Mugabe ought t be charged with war crimes.
