Human rights defender Hussein Khalid has denied claims that he and other activists were paid to travel to Tanzania during opposition leader Tundu Lissu's court hearing.
Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, May 28, Khalid clarified that all activists who went to Tanzania did so at their own expense, insisting the trip was an act of solidarity with Lissu. "A good number of people who traveled on that day used their own resources, including myself.
People use their own money for solidarity because colleagues across the border, when they say, look, you know, we are having this case, it's an election year, people even observe elections all over the world.
This is part of that electioneering process.
