Zimbabwean
election protests in London
Actors will be playing Mugabe
and his wife and there will be Zimbabwean singing, dancing and
drumming at a demonstration in London tomorrow, in protest at
the manipulation of the voting in last week's elections.
Some 500 Zimbabwean exiles took part in Mock Elections outside
the Embassy last Saturday. They voted overwhelmingly for the opposition
leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change.
The Mock Elections were organised by the Zimbabwe Vigil which
has been demonstrating outside the Zimbabwe Embassy every Saturday
for the past six years.
A Vigil statement said: "Mugabe has been rejected by the
people and must not be allowed to cling to power".
The Zimbabwean Election Protest will take place outside the Zimbabwe
Embassy, 429 Strand, London WC2 from 2 pm 6 pm, on Saturday,
5 April 2008
