HARARE, Zimbabwe — Any chance of “free and fair” voting in Zimbabwe’s presidential election run-off on June 27 has been “extinguished” by appalling violence, according to a human rights watchdog report published yesterday.

Since the inconclusive vote on March 29, violence unleashed by President Mugabe’s militia, soldiers, policemen, and members of the airforce has left at least 65 people dead and more than 3,000 wounded.

The victims, according to Human Rights Watch, the largest American-based human rights group, are people from Zanu PF strongholds who voted for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.

An MDC spokesman, Nelson Chamisa, struggled to describe some of the murders. “This woman from the Mhondoro area [a large tribal area about 40 miles south west of Harare] had her arms and legs cut off. She died and they also burned her house.

“They also killed a 6-year-old boy and his mother at Harare South and the mother was pregnant,” he said.

An MDC spokesman from eastern Zimbabwe, Pishai Muchauraya, said there was “anarchy” in several districts along the Mozambique border.

Soldiers “are taking the girls to their bases and raping them.”

“They have surrounded this one village and are beating them one by one.”

The areas include the district around Buhera, the village of the MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, about 170 miles south of Harare.

The report, Bullets for Each of You, comes as intimidation of the MDC continued despite the Zimbabwe High Court overturning a police ban on opposition rallies.

Mr. Chamisa said supporters of Mr. Mugabe had cordoned off the area where opposition leaders had been planning to speak in a Harare suburb.

A Zimbabwe court yesterday ordered the release of Eric Matinenga, an opposition MP arrested twice in recent days on charges of inciting violence.
