systematic, targeted and widespread. The perpetrators have lists of persons whom they are to target. The campaign is under the control of specific individuals in each area. At least ten people have been killed so far and hundreds of people have been beaten. Many of those beaten were severely injured and some had broken bones as a result of the beatings. The “war vets” have been supplied with vehicles to move around areas being targeted. In the targeted areas armed gangs are moving from village to village terrorising people. They are forcing people to attend meetings at which known or suspected MDC supporters are brutally assaulted. Dire warnings are given to the people at these meetings such as: "This is your last chance. You messed up when you voted. Next time you vote you must get it right or you will die." The perpetrators are attacking the homes of MDC activists, and assaulting them and their family members. They often burn down the homes of these persons. They are also driving MDC supporters out of the areas in which they reside. Bases have been set up to which some of the victims are taken to be tortured. This terror campaign is intended to ensure that in the event of a run-off in the Presidential Election people will be too frightened to vote for the opposition and ZANU PF will therefore win this election. Many MDC party officials have been displaced from their own areas and will not be able to organise party support in these areas. Party supporters have been driven out of the areas in which they are registered to vote and will not be able to vote in areas in which they have sought refuge. In the towns the army is carrying out a large scale reprisal operation in which many people are being subjected to severe beatings at the hands of soldiers. 4.
