Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe is using foreign food aid as a weapon to intimidate voters in the forthcoming presidential run-off election, a watchdog group said today.

Hopes have been raised that a national newspaper reporter imprisoned in Zimbabwe will soon be freed.

A national newspaper reporter was being held in prison in Zimbabwe today after being charged under newly re-elected President Mugabe’s security law.
