Tsvangirai detained in Zimbabwe
Breaking News .. June 4 2008 ..

Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has been detained by police
during campaigning for the country's presidential election, his party says.

The Movement for Democratic Change leader was stopped at a roadblock
north of Bulawayo at 1000 GMT, party spokesman Nelson Chamisa said.

Armed police surrounded an MDC convoy and refused to let them leave their vehicles, said Mr Chamisa.

"It appears they want to disrupt our campaign programme," he said.

It comes as Zimbabwe prepares for a run-off election between
Mr Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe on 27 June.

Aid operations suspended

Mr Chamisa called for Mr Tsvangirai's immediate release, adding that
without the intervention of the United Nations and the international
community it would be impossible to hold free and fair elections in Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwean government has also come under criticism for
restricting the work of aid agencies operating in the country.

The operations of one of the largest groups - Care International - have been
suspended amid allegations the group had been campaigning for the opposition.

Care denies that it "has encouraged or tolerated any political activity".

CARE Spied for NATO: Perfect Symbol of a 'Humanitarian' War
by Jared Israel
24 March 2004

On Feb. 2, 2000, the Australian TV program Dateline produced a devastating report on the role of the charity organization, CARE,
in Kosovo. During that program a Canadian government official and the Director of CARE Canada made sensational admissions:

1) That CARE worked for the Canadian government recruiting personnel for the so-called "Kosovo Verification Mission." During the fall and winter of 1998 these "peace verifiers" gathered data for NATO, prior to the bombing of Kosovo. As Dateline reporter Jana Wendt stated, "this was predominantly a military operation. It was charged with monitoring troop movements, military hardware - they told us this, quite openly." [1B]

2) That CARE Canada continued to work for the Canadian government, paying the verifiers' salaries.

3) And that CARE Australia helped CARE Canada organize this operation in Kosovo.
