Zimbabwe: Fair Zim polls 'impossible'

There is no chance of the upcoming Zimbabwean election being free and fair, experts said at a meeting in Johannesburg on Tuesday. "An atmosphere of fear pervades the whole country," said Andrew Moyse, co-ordinator of the media monitoring project of Zimbabwe. "There is no chance that a free and fair election can be held in Zimbabwe." Arnold Tsunga of Zimbabwe's lawyers for human rights added: "All the legislation being pushed through now pertaining to the election is an exercise in deception."
