Zimbabwe police ban political rallies in capital
Legal World
Police imposed a three-month ban on political rallies and protests Wednesday in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare after a political rally held Sunday by opposition group Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Despite a court order instructing police not to interfere with the rally, police used tear-gas and water cannons to break up the crowd gathered to see Morgan Tsvangirai begin his presidential campaign. Opposition group members said police chased and beat people and made several arrests. The police force said the ban was necessary to prevent further disorder.
