Tanzania Opposition Leader Placed in Isolation Before Election

Imprisoned Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu said he’s been placed in isolation as the country prepares to hold an election from which opponents of President Samia Suluhu Hassan have been barred.

The head of the Chadema Party, who’s been in detention since April after being accused of treason, said fellow inmates who previously shared his cell have been moved, leaving him “completely alone,” according to a statement posted on his X account on Monday night.
