Zimbabwe\u2019s main opposition party said that one of its supporters was beaten and stoned to death while on his way to a political rally on Thursday, allegedly by activists from the ruling party, three weeks ahead of the country’s general elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The party offered no evidence to support its claim. Police said in a statement that “an incident of public violence” had left one person dead “as a result of the clashes” but did not refer to the victim’s political affiliation.<\/p>\n

The southern African nation of 15 million people has a history of violent and disputed elections since it gained independence from white minority rule in 1980 following a bloody guerilla war. It will hold general elections on Aug. 23 to chose a president, the parliament and local government councilors.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the vote, there have been accusations that the administration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa is using violence and intimidation to crack down on its political rivals.<\/p>\n

Fadzayi Mahere, spokeswoman for the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change, said Tinashe Chitsunge was among the party’s supporters heading for a rally in a politically volatile township in the capital, Harare, on Thursday when they were “ambushed” by activists from the ruling ZANU-PF party who “assaulted and stoned” them.<\/p>\n

Images on social media showed the body of a man wearing the yellow colors of the opposition party lying on the ground in a pool of blood and apparently dead.<\/p>\n

Other videos posted on social media purported to show ruling party supporters hurling rocks and stones at a truck carrying CCC followers to the rally in the Glen View township.<\/p>\n

The information ministry called for calm and for people to heed the president’s “message of peaceful campaigns, free contestation of ideas and political tolerance.”<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, a report by Human Rights Watch<\/a> titled “Crush Them Like Lice” alleged that there has been “violence, intimidation, harassment, and repression” linked to Mnangagwa’s party and aimed principally at CCC members and civil society activists.<\/p>\n

“ZANU-PF supporters have engaged in widespread harassment, threats, and acts of violence, preventing opposition parties from staging rallies, mobilizing, campaigning, and associating with supporters across the country,” the New York-based<\/a> watchdog said.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa took power after a coup in 2017 and won a disputed election in 2018. He and his officials have repeatedly denied allegations that they have overseen a campaign of violence and intimidation ahead of this month’s election, with the president often publicly telling his supporters to conduct peaceful campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
