Political violence

Flagrant violation of the rule of law on Mount Carmel farm

We have added captions and background information to this footage, circulated to the media, of Ben Freeth's recent visit to his father-in-law's farm (on Good Friday, 10 April 2009). Shortly after this visit to Mount Carmel, Ben Freeth wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai:

Dear Prime Minister Tsvangirai

As you are aware I wrote an open letter to you 2 weeks ago asking where we were going because "soon it will be too late."

I likened our country’s economy to that of an engine that is continuing to be stripped. Unfortunately the stripping process has increased in momentum significantly since my letter; and police unfortunately remain complicit with it.
