All people of goodwill and supporters of democracy across the world are relieved to see the trumped up treason charges against Comrade Tundu Lissu collapse, following his acquittal today.
These charges should never have been brought in the first place. Lissuโs only crime was to call for basic reforms to the electoral architecture in Tanzania to guarantee a fair process. He has lost over two years of his life in custody as he fought off the charges.
We encourage Ndugu Lissu, the CHADEMA Party and all our Tanzanian brothers to take heart and remain strong in their pursuit of justice and freedom, in the knowledge that all forces of regression are usually ultimately defeated.
Karl Marx was right. He warned us that capitalism would result in a dictatorship of the super rich. Look at our lives now. The super rich are controlling everything, but they are never on the ballot paper.
@ahmed_farhanah 'Despite repeated demands from parliament, the government has refused to release the document'. You're defending a criminal government. Must be hard being you.
