Tundu Lissu, leader of CHADEMA, Tanzania's largest opposition party, has now spent a year in prison facing treason charges that could carry the death penalty.

He was arrested in April 2025, accused of inciting efforts to disrupt the October 2025 elections, allegations that led to his party being barred from participating. Yesterday, CHADEMA held a virtual memorial, turning what could have been a sombre occasion into a powerful rallying call for democratic resistance.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Chadema Spokesperson, Brenda Rupiah.
