HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Zimbabwe's president has approved laws easing restrictions on political rallies and the media ahead of upcoming presidential elections.
Under international pressure to give Zimbabwe's opposition a greater voice and help save the collapsing economy that has seen inflation rise exponentially, President Robert Mugabe approved the laws on Jan. 11, state media reported Saturday.
It was unclear whether the autocratic president would follow through on the measures, which are part of ongoing talks between the ruling party and the opposition mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki.
