Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Friday he would ask for power-sharing talks with President Robert Mugabe to be suspended if the government did not stop persecuting political opponents. Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, and Mugabe agreed to form a unity government three months ago. Their accord spurred hopes the ruined nation might recover from a deep economic and humanitarian crisis.
