Zimbabwe elections | Opposition allegedly banned from campaigning

HARARE - Zimbabwe's main opposition says it has been barred from campaigning ahead of the elections.

Campaigners say they were going door-to-door in Harare when riot police arrived and told them to disperse.

They say this is a deliberate attempt to thwart efforts to break Zanu-PF's 43-year grip on power.
