Zimbabwe Opposition Taken From Hospital

Members of the Zimbabwe opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, have been seized from their hospital beds and sent back to prison. The opposition members are part of a group injured by police last week because of their efforts to replace longtime President Robert Mugabe.

Mugabe, who is 83 years-old, meanwhile has decided he will run for President again in 2008. He has already been in power for 27 years, the entire time Zimbabwe has been an independent nations. With unemployment at 80%, inflation at 1700% (!!!), and the life expectancy at 36 years, it is time for a change. Hopefully the opposition can overcome the current oppression and defeat Mugabe in the next election. Thousands of lives may be depending on it.
