Tanzania opposition leader Lissu sentenced to 4 years in prison
Tundu Lissu, head of Tanzania's main opposition party Chadema, was sentenced on November 6 to four years in prison for incitement after the court acquitted him of treason charges carrying a death sentence. Lissu was arrested in April for calling for a boycott of October elections, which took place without Chadema's participation and saw unprecedented violence and security forces shooting protesters. The party announced an appeal; Lissu rejected the verdict, saying the incitement charge did not appear in the original indictment.
