"He ordered the MDC supporters to go for questioning at the police camp and declared Muzarabani a one- party district. He further indicated that no opposition party is allowed to hold any meeting in the area. MDC officials who were contacted by HZT indicated that the meeting was an internal one and there was no need for them to seek clearance from the police."
