Human Right's Watch has warned that a "campaign of violence" in Zimbabwe has extinguished any hope of free and fair run-off presidential elections.
In a new report, the New-York-based group says it has extensive evidence linking senior officials loyal to Robert Mugabe with violent incidents. The report says torture camps have been run by President Mugabe's governing Zanu-PF party and its allies. The New York-based organisation said it has recorded at least 36 politically motivated deaths and 2,000 victims of violence since the first round of polling at the end of March. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai faces Mugabe in the 27 June vote. The Human Rights Watch report says violence against supporters of Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change has worsened in the lead up to the run-off.
