DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - A senior U.S. government official expressed concern on Wednesday over the arrest and imprisonment of Tanzania’s opposition leader Freeman Mbowe who was charged with terrorism-related crimes in late July Tanzanian court charges opposition leader with terrorism-related crimes. Mbowe, chairman of the leading opposition party CHADEMA, was detained in the city of Mwanza on July 21 as he was preparing for a meeting to discuss proposals for a new constitution.

“We have expressed our concern about the treatment and imprisonment of the opposition leader Mbowe," Victoria Nuland, Under Secretary for Political Affairs, told reporters.

Nuland, on a tour of several African countries, was speaking at the end of a visit to Tanzania during which she met President Samia Suluhu Hassan and her foreign minister as well as opposition leaders.

CHADEMA said the imprisonment of its leader was proof that Hassan was persisting with the authoritarianism of her late predecessor John Magufuli. The government denies that accusation.

Utarudi bila miguu, upo tayari?
Hiyo ndiyo nchi ya Tanzania siku hizi!

Lakini bado najiuliza kuhusu kauli hiyo ya SIRRO, baada ya ziara ya Victoria Nuland leo, August 04; kesho yake tu SIRRO anavunja watu miguu?
Sirro kaweka tumaini lake kwa Mungumtu mwenye jinsi ya kike.
Kwa mtu wa umri na wadhifa wake alitakiwa kuwa keshajifunza katika kipindi alichomtumaini Mwendazake.
