<p>Zimbabwe&#8217;s prime minister has been accused by state-run radio of trying to spark anti-government uprisings similar to those seen in Tunisia and Egypt.</p>
<p>The accusation came as an independent doctors&#8217; group said recent political violence had left at least three people in hospital.</p>
<p>The group said several supporters of prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai&#8217;s party had been treated for &#8220;grave injuries&#8221; this week. The stone-throwing and assaults started on Monday.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, armed riot police sealed off the central offices of the Harare City Council as it was besieged by mobs chanting slogans of president Robert Mugabe&#8217;s party, witnesses said. Council staff fled, and calm had returned to Harare early on Thursday.</p>
<p>Activists said Zimbabwe is already seeing a surge in political violence and intimidation as the government prepares for national elections, even though voting day has yet to be scheduled.</p>
<p>State radio, controlled by Mugabe loyalists, said Mr Tsvangirai &#8211; the former opposition leader &#8211; intended to incite his supporters to hold a mass uprising against three decades of authoritarian rule by Mugabe.</p>
<p>It cited recent remarks by Mr Tsvangirai in which he defended mass protests in Tunisia and Egypt and allegedly implied he supported similar action in Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>It claimed Mr Tsvangirai was planning an uprising &#8220;against himself&#8221; as he had taken vows to join the government when a power-sharing coalition was formed in 2009.</p>
<p>A Tsvangirai spokesman said the claims that Mr Tsvangirai planned to lead a march in Harare were &#8220;hogwash&#8221;.</p>
