Senior Counsel and People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has condemned the recent arrest of Tanzania's opposition leader, Tundu Lissu, describing it as unfortunate, unacceptable, and a form of repression against political competition, particularly in a general election year.
Taking to her official X account (formerly Twitter), Karua criticised the arrest and called on the Tanzanian authorities to release the opposition leader immediately. ''Release Tundu Lissu.
This is an unacceptable repression of competition in an election year,'' Karua wrote.
According to Chadema, Tanzania's main opposition party, Lissu was arrested on Wednesday shortly after he concluded addressing a public rally.
