TLS isitumike kama kichaka cha kujificha wanaharakati wa siasa. Mwabukusi aamue afanye kazi ya TLS au afanye harakati za siasa.

Kwani toka kipindi cha mkoloni ma Rais wengine wa TLS mbona hawakuwa na mvutano na Serikali?

Au basi kama ni hivyo TLS nayo ikasajiliwe na Jaji Mutungi iwe chama cha siasa kama CHADEMA

Tundu Lissu Lawyers Win Prison Ruling Oct 16, 2026​

By Amina Diarra·October 16, 2026·7

• —What is happening Tanzania’s High Court ruled on Friday, 16 October 2026 that prison officers must not overhear consultations between detained opposition leader Tundu Lissu and his lawyers at Ukonga Prison.
• —Why it matters The ruling touches the right to confidential legal advice for the chairman of the opposition party CHADEMA, who faces a treason charge, a capital offence, in a trial that has drawn regional attention.
• —The numbers The case is Constitutional Case No. 7300 of 2026, heard by a panel of three judges, with four respondents, and Lissu has been in custody since his arrest on 9 April 2025.
• —Who is who Tundu Lissu is national chairman of CHADEMA, the main opposition party, and Justice Amir Mruma presided over the three judge panel that heard the lawyers’ petition against the prison and the Attorney General.
• —What to watch The treason trial verdict is expected on Friday, 6 November 2026, and it is not yet known whether the state will appeal or how Ukonga will change its rules.
• —What it means for you US travellers should note the State Department keeps Tanzania at Level 3, Reconsider Travel, with political unrest listed as a risk, and the ruling does not change that advisory.

Tanzania’s High Court ordered Ukonga Prison on Friday, 16 October, to let lawyers consult opposition leader Tundu Lissu without being overheard. The ruling, reported by Mwananchi and Global Publishers, rests on the prison’s own standing orders.

Tanzania’s High Court ruled on Friday, 16 October 2026, that officers at Ukonga Prison must not overhear lawyers consulting Tundu Lissu. The Swahili outlets Mwananchi and Global Publishers report that the three judge panel found listening in broke prison rules.

Tundu Lissu is chairman of the opposition party CHADEMA and is on trial for treason. For US readers, the ruling bears on rule of law in a country under a Level 3 travel advisory.

What the High Court Ordered for Tundu Lissu​

Mwananchi and Global Publishers report that the panel, led by Justice Amir Mruma, found officers overhearing Lissu’s lawyers broke Regulation 13. That rule is in the Prison Standing Orders of 1968.

Global Publishers says the Court ordered the Attorney General, the Commissioner General of Prisons and Ukonga’s officer in charge to protect consultations. Both outlets say officers may supervise from a distance where they can see the meeting but cannot hear it.

Both outlets report that the Court found one lawyer’s refusal of entry to Ukonga was not adequately justified. Mwananchi says the lawyer’s absence from the visitors list Lissu gave the prison was no legal requirement.

Mwananchi adds that the Court dismissed the Attorney General’s objection. It also ordered the Commissioner General of Prisons to send guidance to all prison heads within 60 days

Hukumu hii itawasaidia wengine tena siku za karibuni kwenye kesi ya John Pambalu.
Muhimu imeingia kwenye kumbukumbu za mahakama.

 

[jmushi1]

well done mahakama huru za Tanzania kwa weledi wenu katika kuamua mashauri,

maelekezo yenu ya kisheria yatazingatiwa na kufanyiwa kazi kwa vitendo kwa kuzingatia mazingira na hali halisi ya kiusalama ya eneo husika. Hata hivyo, suala la usalama wa wafungwa na mahabusu ni muhimu zaidi ya maelekezo ya jumla jumla tu.

Lakini pia kama wananchi,,
tunashukuru sana mahakama huru ya Tanzania kwa namna mnavyofanya mambo yenu kwa mujibu wa sheria na katiba ya nchi.

Taasisi husika chini ya serikali sikivu ya CCM, itapokea maelekezo yenu kwa mikono miwili na kuona namna bora zaidi ya kuyatekeleza 🐒

Huna maana kabisa wewe chawa. Si juzi tu ulifurahia yule Askofu kuzuiwa kumuona Lissu ukisema ametumwa na Kitima kupeleka ujumbe? Leo unaisifu mahakama kwa kufanya kitu ambacho wewe hupendi unakuwa kama malaya asiyekuwa na msimamo.

Wala huna maana na hauminiki ubongo wako una matatizo makubwa.

Nchimbi mwenyewe uliyekuwa unasema ni rais mtarajiwa, umeshindwa kusimamia msimamo wako hapa jukwaani kwasababu ya laana za uchawa na njaa ya ujira mdogo unaopewa.

Pole sana once again.

Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania imeuagiza uongozi Gereza la Ukonga jijini Dar es Salaam kufuata taratibu za Kanuni za Uendeshaji wa Magereza kwa kutowanyima Mawakili na Washauri wa kisheria kuzungumza na mteja wao lakini pia maafisa magereza kusimamia maongezi hayo kwa kukaa umbali ambao wataweza kuona tu na sio kusikia mazungumzo.

Soma pia:

• Mawakili wa Lissu wamfungulia kesi Kamishna wa Magereza na Mkuu wa Gereza kuu la Ukonga
• Tundu Lissu kumhoji Kamishna Mkuu wa Magereza na Mkuu wa Gereza la Ukonga (Julai 1-3, 2026)

Maagizo hayo yametolewa leo Oktoba 16, 2026 katika kikao cha Mahakama hiyo Masjala Kuu ya Dodoa kilichoketi Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania Masjala Ndogo ya Dar es Salaam katika shauri na 7300/2026 lililofunguliwa na Kulwa Maduhu na wenzake ambao ni Mawakili washauri wa Mwenyekiti wa CHADEMA Tundu Lissu wakidai kuzuiwa kuonana na mteja wao na wakati mwingine walipoonana nae kukosa usiri wakati wa mazungumzo.

Akisoma uamuzi huo Jaji Amir Mruma ambaye ni kiongozi wa Jopo la Majaji watatu waliokuwa wakisikilzia kesi hiyo amesema"Mamlaka ya magereza ya Ukonga wafuate kanuni kuhakikisa maafisa Maafisa Magereza wanaangalia usalama lakini wawe umbali wa kutosikia."

Pamoja na maagizo mengine yaliyotolewa katika uamuzi huo mahakama hiyo imetamka kuwa kitendo cha Maafisa Magereza kusikiliza mazungumzo ya Lissu na Mawakili wake au washauri wake wa kisheria ambao ni Paul Kisabo na Nashon Nkungu ni uvunjifu wa Kanuni ya 13 ya Uendeshaji wa Magereza.

"Tunatamka Kanuni 13 ya Uendeshaji wa Magereza ya mwaka 1968 inataka mashauriano kati ya mfungwa na mshauri au wakili wake yafanyike mahali ambapo Magereza wanaweza kuona lakini hawawezi kusikia."

Pamoja na hayo hukumu hiyo imetamka kuwa kuzuiliwa kwa Wakili Maduhu Oktoba 28, 2025 kuingia gereza la ukonga licha ya kuonyesha vitambulisho vyake vya uwakili sababu ikitajwa kuwa hayupo kwenye orodha ya Lissu aliyowasilisha gerezani sio sahihi na sio sababu inayojitosheleza kwani kama Wakili na mshauri wa kisheria alikuwa ana sababu za kutosha kuonana na mteja wake.

Hata hivyo pamoja na uamuzi mwingine Mahakama hiyo Mahakama imeagiza Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali, Kamishna Jenerali wa Magereza na Mkuu wa Gereza la Ukonga kuhakikisha Mawakili wa Lissu watakapoenda gerezani hapo waweze kukutana na kufanya mazungumzo na mashauriano na mteja wao pasina kuingiliwa kwa vyovyote wala kusikilizwa.

JUDGEMENT
MRUMA, J.
This constitutional petition raises a question which is narrow in its
formulation but far-reaching in its consequences. The question is whether, when an advocate consults a client detained in prison, prison officers may
remain sufficiently close to hear the consultation, or whether the law requires security to be maintained by visual supervision without listening to conversations

Page 1

A related question concerns the circumstances in which prison
authorities may refuse an advocate access to a detained client. These questions may appear straightforward, but they raise matters of
considerable legal importance, particularly when considered in the light of the familiar principle that no one is above the law.
The Petitioners are advocates who say that they were instructed to
provide services in connection with criminal proceedings against the Fourth Respondent, Tundu Antiphas Mughwai Lissu. They contend that the arrangements at Ukonga Central Prison prevented confidential consultations,
interfered with their professional work, and impaired the effective enjoyment of the Fourth Respondent’s rights to a fair hearing and the privacy of his
communications. Their application is brought under Articles 26(2) and 30(3) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977; sections 4 and 5 of the Basic Rights and Duties Enforcement Act, commonly referred to as
BRADEA, Cap. 3, R.E. 2023; and rule 4 of the Basic Rights and Duties
Enforcement (Practice and Procedure) Rules.
The principal domestic provisions relied upon are regulation 13 of the
Prisons (Prison Management) Regulations, 1968, Government Notice No. 19 of 1968, and Articles 13(1), 13(3), 13(6)(a), 15, 16, 22(1), 26(1),
