Tanzanian opposition leaders are now demanding access to detained party chairman Tundu Lissu, saying it is his constitutional right.
The leaders claim that Keko Prison, where Lissu is being held, failed to produce him during a scheduled visit on Friday.
Among the visitors were Deputy Secretary General-Zanzibar Advocate Ali Ibrahim, other party officials, legal representatives, and family members, all of whom were denied access without explanation. ''Efforts to see Lissu were unsuccessful after being informed that he was not at the prison.
Regrettably, no official explanation was provided regarding his whereabouts," a communique stated.
