HARARE, June 14 (Reuters) - Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and 11 party colleagues were freed after being held by police for three hours on Saturday, a Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) spokesman said.

"He and all of us were released after three hours there. They (police) said they were searching our vehicles. But it's just harassment. The president (Tsvangirai) is now continuing his campaign," his spokesman said. (Reporting by Cris Chinaka, edited by Richard Meares)
