Kenyan rights activists denied entry into Tanzania
May 20, 2025
|The Star
SEVERAL Kenyan rights activists including a former justice minister said they were denied entry to Tanzania over the weekend as they travelled to attend the treason trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu.
-
Lissu, who was shot 16 times in a 2017 attack and came second in the last presidential poll, was charged with treason last month over what prosecutors said was a speech calling upon the public to rebel and disrupt elections due in October.
A recent string of high-profile arrests has thrust the rights record of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who plans to seek reelection, into the spotlight.
Hassan says the government is committed to respecting human rights.
