Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister and, by common consent, the man who won the largest number of votes in Zimbabwe’s last Presidential election, is being investigated for High Treason, a crime which carries the death penalty in Zimbabwe. His ‘crime’ was to hold discussions with US diplomats about the possible impact of international sanctions against Zimbabwe.
Tsvangirai, who was disgracefully passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize in favour of Barack Obama, is a hero to anyone who believes in democracy and human rights. He could be the first person to die as a result of Wikileaks exposing US State Department cables.
It should be noted that the report linked below comes from The Guardian, one of Julian Assange’s media partners. Both Assange and The Guardian have assured us that they redacted anything which could put lives at risk. Apparently, they didn’t spot everything, and they should have known from the beginning that they could not.
