The opposition Chadema party had planned a mass protest on Monday over alleged intimidation of its members. One of Tanzania's most high-profile opposition figures Tundu Lissu was arrested Monday, his party said, as police moved to block a mass protest in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam. "Police have arrested Chadema vice chairman Tundu Lissu at his home in Tegeta. A convoy of 11 vehicles took him away without stating to which police station they are going," the Chadema party said on its X account. The politician had earlier posted a message on social media that police were taking him into custody. Three police vehicles full of officers in riot gear are outside my residence. They've informed me I'm directed to be taken to the Regional Crimes Officer Kinondoni. I'm getting ready to go. — Tundu Antiphas Lissu (@TunduALissu) September 23, 2024
