Leo kesi hiyo ilikuja kwa ajili ya kutolewa uamuzi mdogo kuhusu mapingamizi aliyowasilisha Lissu, ambapo alipinga uhalali wa hati ya mashtaka na pia akakosoa maelezo ya mashahidi akidai yameandikwa kinyume cha sheria.
Presiding Judge Dastan Nduguru adjourned the matter to Monday September 22nd, when the bench is expected to rule on Lissu’s objections
Upande wa Jamhuri umejibu hoja za mshtakiwa Tundu Lissu kwa kuzipangua moja baada ya nyingine, huku Lissu naye akisisitiza kwa msimamo wake kuwa hati ya mashtaka ya uhaini inayomkabili ni batili na haina uhalali wa kisheria.
During the hearings, tensions ran high as supporters of the opposition party CHADEMA briefly boycotted proceedings, alleging harassment and restricted access to the courtroom.
He reminded the court that this is only the third treason case in Tanzania’s history, citing the 1971 trial linked to Bibi Titi Mohamed and the 1983 Khatibu Ghandi case, where judges stressed that treason requires concrete actions, not words.
Kwa mujibu wa hati ya mashtaka, Lissu anatuhumiwa kwamba mnamo Aprili 3 alikusudia “kuchochea wananchi kuzuia uchaguzi mkuu wa mwaka 2025.” Hata hivyo, mwanasiasa huyo mashuhuri anasema kosa hilo haliingii kwenye wigo wa makosa ya uhaini kwa mujibu wa sheria za Tanzania.
The High Court panel announced that a ruling on Lissu’s objection will be delivered on Monday, September 15th, at 9 a.m.
“Kupata huruma unaponewa si kosa, lakini jambo muhimu zaidi ni kupata haki. Siwaombi Waheshimiwa Majaji mnipe haki kwa sababu ya huruma, bali kwa mujibu wa viapo vyenu na kwa mujibu wa sheria,”
Lissu also raised concerns about repeated adjournments in the lower court, saying the case was postponed 13 times without proper reasons, leaving him in custody for months under harsh conditions
Shauri hilo lilitajwa leo kwa ajili ya kuendelea na usikilizwaji wa hoja za pingamizi zilizowasilishwa na Lissu, ambapo upande wa Jamhuri ulikuwa unakamilisha uwasilishaji wake kabla ya Lissu, anayejitetea mwenyewe, kujibu hoja hizo.
