- In his line of questioning, Lissu entered into an argument with the witness over whether the April 3, 2025, internal meeting of CHADEMA was legal.
- Dar es Salaam-The treason trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu continued on August 11, 2026, where he continued his cross-examination of the case’s chief investigation officer, Amin Mahamba.
- Lissu also took time to highlight several of the treason cases related to October 29, underscoring that hundreds of them had been removed from court, linking that to the police’s “lack of competence,” as he quoted.
- After all efforts failed, unknown assailants were sent to attack me outside my home in Dodoma,” Lissu said, reminding the court of his 2017 assassination attempt.
- As he was finishing the day, Lissu brought up his years of interaction with the police, underscoring that the trend never stopped since 2002, when he was arrested in Bulyanhulu for “defending small-scale miners,”.
