Zimbabwe opposition re****ts arrest at parliament
Yahoo News, Aug 25, 2008
HARARE, Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe's main opposition says two members were
arrested as they entered parliament to be sworn in.
The opposition says police did not say where the men were being taken.
Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said he was unaware of the arrests.
Opposition spokesman Nelson Chamisa says his Movement for Democratic
Change remained determined to take up seats in parliament, which
President Robert Mugabe was to open Tuesday. The opposition won the
most legislative seats in March, and is trying to negotiate executive
power sharing with Mugabe.
Police have said they are seeking seven opposition members accused of
involvement in election violence. Independent human rights groups have
said Mugabe's forces were responsible for most of the violence.
