Police bar MDC from holding Harare meetings

The MDC reports that they were barred from holding a consultative meeting on
Wednesday at Cyril Jennings Hall in Harare. Senior police officers from
Southerton Station blocked the meeting, claiming they had not been notified
on time. The police have also barred a meeting that was scheduled for Glen
View on Friday.

A statement from the MDC refuted the police claim saying the MDC Harare
provincial secretary, Tsaurai Marima, had indeed notified the police, as is
required by law. But the police turned down the applications claiming that
they had not been informed in advance.
