Mugabe cracks down on journalists

Posted by patriot on April 4th, 2008

Mugabe is really anxious tokeep his power. He’s arresting journalists and withholding election results. Crazy!

Zimbabwean government forces Thursday began cracking down on the main opposition party, raising fears of a political crisis, according to witnesses and an opposition spokesman.

The forces raided at least two hotels in the capital, including one that houses foreign journalists, a witness told CNN.

Four journalists unaccredited by the Zimbabwean government were taken away, he said.

The Zimbabwean government has denied CNN and other international news organizations permission to enter the country to report on the elections.

Before the election, the Movement for Democratic Change said the government had printed millions of excess ballots in a scheme to rig the vote in Mugabe’s favor, an allegation the ruling party denied.
