JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Riot police in Zimbabwe raided the headquarters of the main opposition party on Saturday and arrested dozens of supporters, a spokesman said.
Nelson Chamisa said close to 200 Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) supporters had been seized in the raid on the party's headquarters in central Harare.
Three truckloads of riot police arrived at the headquarters around midday. The police broke up a "routine meeting" called by the MDC to discuss party issues ahead of next year's crucial presidential and parliamentary polls, Chamisa said in a telephone interview.
