MICHAEL HOLMES, WORLD NEWS: In Zimbabwe, thousands of people demonstrated against President Robert Mugabe, but others stayed home for fear of reprisal. CNN's Stephanie Halas (ph) reports.</s>STEPHANIE HALAS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In this country, where half of the adult population is unemployed, May Day brought out thousands of proponents of Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe and his ruling ZANU-PF party. The trade unions have told its members not to demonstrate out of fear that the police could not protect them against President Mugabe's supporters. But members of the main political opposition party did come out to demand new elections be announced. The demonstrators are also upset about the conflict over Zimbabwe's white-owned farms, many of which have recently been occupied by militants who want the land transferred to the country's black majority. These demonstrations come before a crucial day on Tuesday, when President Mugabe will discuss a new measure to seize white-owned land with his cabinet members. Also on Tuesday, the commonwealth ministerial action group meeting in London will have Zimbabwe and a possible membership suspension on its agenda. Stephanie Halas, CNN, Harare, Zimbabwe.
