Fourteen people , detained on suspicion of being implicatedin the attempted plot to
overthrow the government of the now-retired Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere three years ago, were freed yesterday.
Their freedom, announced today by the government-owned .Sunday News, followed President Ali Hassan Mwinyi's decision to resciud their detention order. According to the list, seven were armymen and five civilians. The names of the remaining two people were not given.
The freed armymen were identified as Lieutenant

The five civilians were
Messrs Robert Bayona, Thadeo Boniface, Mtakyama Bugingo, Ramadhani Shabani Otto and Sulemani Nassor Seif. The remaining two names were not released.
The 14 were among scores of people detained without trial in early 1983 on suspicion that they were connected with the coup plot which the government claimed was planned to take place between June, 1982, and Jan 1983
Of the convicted for planning the coup attempt, One of them was the alleged ring leader
, Mr Pius Mtakubwa Lugangira who, together with
Hatty McGhee, escaped from the maximum security remand prison in June, 1984, and fled to Kenya.
Hatibu Gandhi alias Captain Hatty Macghee; others were Captain Christopher Kadego alias Chriss; Lieutenant Eugene Maganga; Captain Metusela Suleiman Kamando; Captain Vitalis Gabriel Mpunda; Captain Rodrick Roushan Roberts; Captain Dietrich Oswald Mbogoro; Captain Zacharia Hanspoppe and P3794 Lieutenant Badru Rwechungura Kajaja. Mr McGhee was subsequently returned to Tanzania in exchange for two Kenya Air Force men whowere in Tanzania as political refugees.
Last year, a well known local industrialist,
Jayantlal Rajani, was released after being detained in connection with the 1983 plot. Against Mr Nyerere, AFP writes. During a treason trial last December for some of those implicated in the plot, nine People were jailed for life and six others were acquitted by the Tanzanian High Court.

At the time when the country was facing this economic crisis in 1982, the second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth appellants held military commissions in the
Tanzania Peoples' Defence Forces, that is TPDF.
At the time material to this case in 1982, the second appellant was stationed in a tank unit in Dar es Salaam, whereas the third appellant was pursuing higher studies at Dar es Salaam University. He was in his final year reading for a BA degree in Political Science.
The fourth appellant was a pilot in the TPDF Airwing at Ukonga in Dar es Salaam, and so were the fifth and sixth appellants. As far as the seventh appellant is concerned, he was in the Air Defence Regiment and was in charge of Battery No 2 in Dar esSalaam; similarly, the eighth appellant was in the same regiment as Chief Engineer.
As for the ninth appellant, he happened to be stationed in a military unit at Nachingwea, but was in Dar es Salaam in December 1982. All appellants are Tanzanians by nationality.
Thereafter, during the same month of December 1982, the first appellant and the fourth
appellant visited Zanzibar on several occasions. At about this time the first appellant received a number of guests at house No 80B Drive-In.
He, and a number of friends, also used to visit a house at Kinondoni Mkwajuni, that is, house No 65--32P along Livingstone Street in Dar es Salaam, where he and his friends used to have lunch and indulge in heavy drinking. That house belonged to PW38, that is,
Zahara Abdulla Sengumba, who rented it from the National Housing Corporation. She was in some way related to the first appellant.
She had agreed to allow the first appellant and his friends to have their lunch there as and when they wished. For most of the time, material to this case, the first appellant travelled in the city by taxi which he hired from PW1, that is,
Abdallah Mhando. Towards the end of December 1982, the first appellant hired another taxi driven by PW45, that is,
Nassor Sultan Seif, apparently because PW1 had travelled outside the country to Harare in Zimbabwe.
During this time,
Pius Lugangira alias Father Tom was not sitting idly by at Motel Agip, but made a number of contacts in the city, including a visit to house No 1127 Chole Road at
