<p>The Government condemns the use of violence and intimidation in electoral contests.
We regularly urge the government of Zimbabwe to end human rights abuses and restore
internationally accepted standards. British Embassy officials visited Norton, the
location of the most recent by-election, on two occasions, including as part of a
'Diplomatic Watch' observation mission with Australian, US and EU colleagues. They
spoke to both candidates, urging calm. The "Diplomatic Watch" along with
local observation groups will write to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, outlining
their findings.</p>
