Zimbabwe: Tsvangirai Arrested, then Released and NGOs Targeted

Morgan Tsvangirai was stopped at a road block by Zimbabwean security forces, and held for 8 hours before being released.

He had been charged with, "drawing a big crowd"...I'm not joking here.

So we clearly have an official policy of disruption and intimidation of his campaign.

Additionally, the government has ordered CARE and other NGOs to cease operations, likely for 2 reasons: They don't want witnesses, and if the government is the only entity allowed to supply aid, it becomes easier to use this aid as a weapon.
