Abstract As Zimbabwe is inevitably heading towards an election in 2005, it is timely to examine the experiences of those who contested the last election in 2000, as one indicator of the likelihood of any forthcoming general election being free and fair. The report documents torture, porperty loss, threats and deaths of MDC individuals and their family members. "Let the MDC and its leaders be warned that those who play with fire will not only be burnt, but consumed by that fire" - Robert Mugabe, 13 June 2003.
