Kwa mujibu wa Lissu, baada ya mazungumzo hayo, Kingai alimweleza kuwa hayuko tayari kutoa ushahidi kwa upande wa utetezi, akisema yuko upande wa watu wanaotamani Lissu apatikane na hatia na atafurahi kusikia hilo.
The protesters had gathered outside Istanbul’s main Caglayan courthouse under heavy police surveillance, chanting “Long live the struggle for freedom!”, “Free those detained immediately!” and “Despite hatred, long live life!”
Heche alisema hakuwahi kushuhudia mtu akitekwa kwa macho yake wala kumwona mtu akipotea, huku kuhusu baadhi ya matukio ya mauaji aliyoyataja akisema hakuwapo wakati yakitekelezwa.
Immigrant-run shops were also a focus of an explosion of xenophobic unrest earlier this year when scores were looted, torched or forced to shut during protests demanding that undocumented foreign nationals leave the country.
Shahidi wa upande wa utetezi katika kesi ya uhaini inayomkabili Mwenyekiti wa Chadema, Tundu Lissu, John Heche, ameieleza Mahakama matukio mbalimbali ya mauaji, utekaji na kupotezwa kwa watu nchini, akitaja viongozi na wanachama wa vyama vya siasa waliopitia matukio hayo.
Heche alisema Kamati Kuu ya CHADEMA ilikutana Desemba 3, 2024 chini ya uenyekiti wa Freeman Mbowe na kujadili matukio hayo, kabla ya chama kuchukua msimamo wa kutaka mageuzi ya kikatiba na kisheria yafanyike kabla ya uchaguzi. Miongoni mwa mabadiliko aliyoyataja ni kuondoa baadhi ya mamlaka ya Rais na kuundwa kwa Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi.
Rupia pia alikiri kuwa CHADEMA inaamini katika demokrasia na kwamba Tanzania ina mfumo wa vyama vingi, huku akitambua kuwa uchaguzi mkuu unaendeshwa kwa mujibu wa Katiba na mabadiliko ya Katiba ni mchakato.
The protest was in the port city of Durban which has been at the epicentre of weeks of action against irregular migration in which at least four foreign nationals have been killed and tens of thousands have fled the country.

“Kesi ni mwendelezo wa kuwabambikia viongozi wa CHADEMA kesi za uongo na mbinu za kukwamisha mabadiliko, ni matumizi yasiyo ya haki ya njia za kimahakama na kisheria dhidi ya wapinzani na CCM dhidi ya CHADEMA na viongozi wake,”Mnyika
