DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) -Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu will go on trial on Monday for treason, weeks before the East African country holds an election that his party has been barred from contesting.
Lissu, who came second in the last presidential poll in 2020, was arrested in April and charged with treason over what prosecutors said was a speech calling on the public to rebel and disrupt the elections later this month.
