"A film that graphically shows how Robert Mugabe's supporters rigged Zimbabwe's election has been smuggled out of the country by a prison officer. It is believed to be the first footage of actual ballot-rigging and comes as Zimbabwe's president faces growing international pressure."
"Using a hidden camera, Yuda filmed for six days prior to last Friday's run-off election in which Mugabe claimed victory with 90% of the vote. Morgan Tsvangirai, the MDC leader, had earlier said his party would not be participating in the run-off because of intimidation."
"The film, made for Guardian Films, shows how Yuda and his colleagues at Harare central jail had to fill in their ballots in front of Zanu-PF activists.
Yuda also obtained footage of Zanu-PF rallies where voters were told they should pretend to be illiterate so that an official could fill in their ballot for them on behalf of Mugabe.
He was able to film the MDC's general secretary, Tendai Biti, in leg irons in jail. Biti, now on bail, faces treason charges which carry the death penalty."

If you’re the only candidate running, do you really need to rig the election?
No problem, former U.S. President and America hater Jimmy Carter will shortly be making a public statement condemning this.
Everything Mugabe did was shown on global news media. None of it was a secret.
Mugabe’s cousin Obama is attempting to pull the same scam here. Does anyone really believe all of obama’s financial support is coming from within the US? This guy is the muslim candidate.
He should have sent for the King County Washington elections department, they could have created or lost more than enough ballots to rig an election.
