HARARE, Zimbabwe, June 6 (UPI) -- Zimbabwe's opposition leader was arrested Friday at his home and taken to Harare's central police station, the Voice of America reported.
A police spokesman said Movement for Democratic Change President Morgan Tsvangirai will be charged with treason.
The arrest came at the end of a week of protests called by the opposition. But the MDC leader said there will be more demonstrations.
Tsvangirai was arrested shortly after telling journalists and diplomats that opposition protests would continue until the government came to the negotiating table. This is the second time he has been arrested this week.
The Zimbabwe government said the week-long protest and stay-away organized by the opposition has been a failure.
A veteran of the ruling ZANU-PF party, Nathan Shamuyarira, told state media Friday that the time had come for measures to to stop the Movement for Democratic Change from destroying the economy even further by calling for more demonstrations.
