Hi everyone,

Below is the latest report from the Zimbabwe Election Monitor service, who can be reached at zimbabwe_electionmonitor@hotmail.com . Please read the note at the end about the availability of short wave radio broadcasts to Zimbabwe.


Craig



Since we set up zimbabwe_electionmonitor@hotmail.com on 22.5.00 support has grown steadily and we now have daily reports from a wide cross section of the community in all parts of the country. The evidence of electoral malpractice on a monstrous scale is overwhelming, and we are punctilious in passing every properly documented report to the main international monitoring teams, the press, and to the Zimbabwe Democracy Trust, without revealing the name or address of the sender.

Please continue to assist our work by in this last vital week AND after by reporting every incident as soon as it occurs. Reports should be brief, to the point, and authentic. Due to the current security situation, reports need not be attributed to individuals. They should be true, accurate,and state the time and general location of the incidents (districts or constituencies if known), together with the identity of the victims and of those responsible for the action, and should state political affiliations where known. Details of the response of the police and other authorities should be provided whenever possible.

The reports distributed by us will not include details of the original sender, nor of the sender's e-mail address. If you want to send reports via a third party, as some do, that is accepted and reports will be processed in the normal way. Reports are normally acknowledged: if you do not want acknowledgement, please make that clear, and we will follow your instructions.

We are very grateful for the widespread support we have received so far from individuals throughout Zimbabwe. Some have gone to a great deal of trouble and put themselves in some danger, for which we give particular thanks. We are particularly grateful for those who have sent reports from the townships and from rural areas. Please continue to send us the news and to encourage others to do the same.

THE NEXT WEEK'S REPORTS AND AFTER ARE VITAL: WE WILL KEEP GOING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AFTER THE ELECTION.


#### IMPORTANT NEWS: There is apparently an ALTERNATIVE RADIO SERVICE for ZIMBABWE TRY 7.215 SHORTWAVE at 7 PM or 915 PM. Reports please. ####


PLEASE FORWARD THIS NOTE TO YOUR FRIENDS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE TOWNSHIPS OR THE RURAL AREAS.

Requests from governmental, political or press organisations (or their representatives) will be treated less favourably. The purpose of this list is not necessarily to redistribute published news reports. Rather, it is intended to distribute reports from or directly affecting people in Zimbabwe. If you have seen something before, I apologise. Hopefully that will not be a regular occurrence.
