Morgan Tsvangirai, the Zimbabwean opposition leader and presidential contender, was seized by police on his way to an election rally and held for more than eight hours yesterday. His arrest came against a backdrop of rising violence led by ruling party militia against Tsvangirai and the opposition movement ahead of the upcoming runoff elections (note: Tsvangirai and his party really won the elections already but was forced into a run off by the ruling regime which refuses to cede power)No word yet as to why he was detained.
