The New York Times reporter Barry Bearak was arrested in Zimbabwe on April 3, 2008 while staying there to cover the recent presidential election. No further information has been made available on Bearak's status since he was taken by police from the Harare hotel at which he was staying. The offices of the Movement for Democratic Change, who had opposed current president Robert Mugabe in the election, were raided on the same day as the Bearak arrest. (Mugabe's Party lost control of the parliament for the first time since Zimbabwe declared independence 28 years ago).
Bearak had won a 2002 Pulitzer Prize for his reporting from Afghanistan. He currently serves as the Times' South African bureau chief. His wife, Celia Dugger, is also a staff writer for the Times.
