Zimbabwe’s main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, accused the government of intensifying intimidation, blaming it for deaths of three of its members over the last four days. The MDC’s leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, said he believed the deaths marked the beginning of a new campaign of violence and intimidation against the MDC in the run-up to the presidential election in March. Meanwhile, the government has accused the opposition of mounting terrorist attacks against its supporters.
