Footage of alleged vote-rigging has emerged from Zimbabwe's disputed Presidential run-off election.
The material was reportedly filmed in secret by a Zimbabwean prison guard, and appears to show a supporter of President Robert Mugabe directing the votes of prison inmates. The footage has been delivered to British media organisations The Guardian and BBC. Meanwhile, Mugabe has ruled out the prospect of talks with his opponents to end Zimbabwe's political crisis, unless they acknowledge his victory. African leaders this week appealed for Zimbabwe's rival parties to negotiate a government of national unity. Mugabe insists that he won the election fairly, despite the withdrawal of opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, whose supporters were targeted with a campaign of violence.
