Kesi ya uhaini inayomkabili Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) Taifa, Tundu Lissu, imeahirishwa kwa siku 13 hadi Mei 19, 2025, baada ya upande wa Jamhuri kueleza kuwa upelelezi haujakamilika.
The European Parliament’s debate will focus on issues of fundamental freedoms, human rights and democracy in general, under President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration, which has faced allegations of undermining democratic freedoms.
Wakili Alute Mghwai ambaye pia ni ndugu wa Lissu, alieleza kuwa hali anayoishi Lissu akiwa gerezani ni kama tayari ameshahukumiwa, jambo linalokiuka Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania.
Karua strongly condemned the charges against Lissu, calling them politically motivated and a threat to political competition, especially with the upcoming elections in Tanzania.
The journalists had gone to Kisutu Magistrate Court to cover the hearing of Tundu Lissu’s treason case.
Lissu insisted that his case be heard in person, arguing that his physical presence in court was crucial, as per the law.
Chadema leader Tundu Lissu, who was arrested and charged with treason earlier in the week, previously said that his party would not participate in the polls without electoral reform.
Lissu has consistently called for electoral reforms and warned that Chadema would oppose the elections unless changes are made to ensure free and fair voting.
