Tanzanian opposition leader Lissu sentenced to four years in prison after acquittal on treason charge
A court in Tanzania sentenced Chadema opposition party leader Tundu Lissu to four years in prison for incitement to unrest — under a charge that was not originally part of the indictment — while removing the threat of the death penalty on the treason charge. Lissu spent 19 months in custody and called the trial political persecution.
