Morgan Tsvangirai sequestered inside the Dutch Embassy, as Police storm opposition Headquarters taking dozens of party members. Yep, certainly looks like democracy is going ahead as planned.

HARARE, Zimbabwe - Police raided the headquarters of Zimbabwe's opposition party and took dozens of people away Monday, a day after the party's leader pulled out of the country's presidential run-off election and sought refuge at the Dutch Embassy.

Morgan Tsvangirai went to the embassy Sunday shortly after announcing he was withdrawing from Friday's run-off vote against longtime leader Robert Mugabe, citing violence against opposition supporters.
