Continued Killings of MDC families

Jan Raath in Harare, and Jenny Booth of the TimesOnline[London] report of another family member of an MDC leader found beaten to death by ZANU-PF suporters. The death toll of MDC supporters is now over 70 people since the March 29th election that saw the MDC win a parliamentary majority and the MDC presidential candidate win a majority of the votes, although not enough to avoid a run-off election. Morgan Tsvangirai announced yesterday, however, that the MDC will no longer participate in the run-off election given the "war" waged against the MDC by ZANU-PF.
