Mwenyekiti CHADEMA, Mhe. Freeman Mbowe, amepata mawakili wapya kumwakilisha katika kesi inayomkabili ya uhujumu uchumi na ugaidi. Mbowe alikamatwa mwezi Julai mjini Mwanza na sasa atawakilishwa na wakili wa kimataifa Robert Amsterdam akishirikiana na mawakili wengine

Freeman Mbowe, a Tanzanian opposition politician and chairman of the Chadema party who was arrested in nighttime police raid this past July, will be represented by international lawyer Robert Amsterdam, founding partner of Amsterdam & Partners LLP, in coordination with local defense counsel.

The arrest of Mbowe and several others took place at approximately 2:30AM in a hotel in the northwestern port city of Mwanza the night before the Chadema chairman was going to host a public forum on constitutional reform, according to media reports. Mbowe was held in an undisclosed location beyond the reach of counsel for weeks and allegedly subjected to torture, before appearing in court for the first time on Friday, August 6, on trumped up charges of terrorism finance, says Amsterdam.

“We condemn the brazenly criminal conduct of the regime of President Samia Suluhu Hassan with these politically motivated charges against Mbowe,” says Amsterdam. “As we’ve already seen a judge recusal and direct comments by the President interfering in the case and tainting prospects of fair trial, it is abundantly clear to the international community that this is an authoritarian farce, not a judicial process.”

Amsterdam says that his firm will work closely with Mbowe’s local defense counsel, Mr Peter Kibatala and Mr. John Mallya, Esquire, to issue filings before a variety of international bodies. “We will ensure there are consequences for the Hassan regime for this egregious violation of Tanzania’s international commitments, while seeking accountability to all public servants who make themselves complicit in the government’s unlawful conduct,” says Amsterdam.

Amsterdam & Partners LLP also represents Tundu Lissu, the vice chairman of Chadema who competed in the 2020 presidential elections, among other opposition figures in the region such as Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) in Uganda. Amsterdam & Partners LLP is based in London and Washington DC. More information is available at Amsterdam & Partners LLP – International Law Firm | London | Washington DC.

La msingi sio hasa "ushindi" wa kesi moja moja, bali ni kutimua vumbi la kutosha ndani na nje.

Kwa kuwa serikali ya ccm inatumia dola kuwabana wapinzani wasifanye siasa, kumbi za mahakama hazina budi kuwa ndio "viwanja" vya kufanyia siasa. Na katika hilo kuna mafanikio makubwa. Kitendo cha mabalozi wa nje pamoja na maafisa wao kufuatilia kwa karibu kesi ya Mbowe, ni mafanikio makubwa ya mapambano yanayoendelea mitandaoni, mahakamani, na katika nyanja nyingine.

Na kipimo kwamba dozi inafanya kazi, ni jitihada za serikali kuwatisha mabalozi wasihudhurie mahakamani.
Ushiriki wa Amsterdam katika kesi ya Mbowe, pamoja na mengine, ni kupanua uwanja wa mapambano. Nyie si mna mapolisi, majaji wenu? Nyie si mnatumia dola kuiba na kupora?

Vumbi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kibatala amechoka kufanyishwa kazi kwa mazoea (kazi isiyokuwa na malipo) kwani jamaa ana familia. Waswahili wanasema mkono mtupu haulambwi, ngoja tuone Amsterdam itakuaje!

Hakuna jipya,huko nyuma nakumbuka Kuna wanasiasa nao waliwahi kuleta mawakili kutoka Uingereza,hukumu ilipotoka mpaka leo sijawahi kuwasikiliza tena.
Walijuta kuifahamuTanzania.

Probably the only positive thing I could think of about White Supremacy is when concerned White people step in to become the last defenders of civility, democracy, justice and rule of law for Africans because Africans have screwed up yet again and have gotten back to their old savage, illogical, barbaric, childish ways. It takes a White Savior to fix this for the Africans.
