Zimbabwe's PM alleges persecution 津巴布韦首相宣称遭到迫害

Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has accused the Zanu-PF party of President Robert Mugabe of persecuting¹ his MDC group.

津巴布韦首相Morgan Tsvangirai控告津巴布韦非洲民族联盟首领Robert Mugabe迫害其领导的民主变革运动组织。

He said Zanu-PF violated the law and spread "the language of hate", and vowed² not to let it continue.

Mr Tsvangirai and President Mugabe signed a power-sharing agreement a year ago, after a disputed election.

Meanwhile EU envoys³ completed talks with Zimbabwe's leaders, and said there were still concerns about human rights.

On Sunday Mr Tsvangirai spoke⁴ at a rally marking 10 years of his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

"I am not going to stand by while Zanu-PF continues to violate the law, persecutes⁵ our members of parliament, spreads the language of hate, invades our productive farms [and] ignores our international treaties," he said.

He went on: "We want partners who are going to commit themselves to good governance principles.

"We cannot have partners of looters（抢掠者）."

The EU talks, lasting⁶ two days, were the first in seven years with Mr Mugabe.

The delegation⁷ said more needed to be done to stabilise the year-old power-sharing agreement, as the leaders disagreed on its terms.

European Commissioner⁸ for Development and Humanitarian⁹ Aid Karel de Gucht said: "They do not have the same reading of the same document.

"They have a different reading on how this should be done and at what speed."

The reports of human-rights violations¹⁰ were also "unacceptable and not the spirit" of the agreement, said Swedish Development Minister Gunilla Carlsson.

President Mugabe had earlier said the talks had gone well, while again calling for international sanctions imposed since disputed presidential election in 2002 to be lifted.
