Police besiege Harvest House The MDC condemns the continued round the clock heavy deployment and surveillance of Harvest House, the MDC headquarters by armed police officers as it is a clear sign of provocation intended to intimidate, instil fear and subdue any dissention. The MDC views this is as a wanton act of aggression by Zanu PF aimed at covering up the massive electoral fraud by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) orchestrated at the behest and connivance of Zanu PF. As a party, the MDC finds it strange that the police and Zanu PF are using such intimidatory tactics when Zanu PF is claiming that it won last week’s elections. We wonder why the victor should be afraid of the people and the actions by the police vindicate the MDC’s position that Zanu PF using ZEC stole the people’s victory. The heavy deployment of police at Harvest House clearly shows that Zanu PF is hiding something. The heavy police presence at Harvest House is also affecting the day to day business of innocent Zimbabweans who want to move on with their lives after their votes were stolen by the Zanu PF dictatorship. We call upon Zanu PF to unconditionally stop the brutal and savage attack on the MDC. Such bully tactics are totally unacceptable and will not deter the MDC from persuing the democratic agenda of bringing a better life to all Zimbabweans.
