From Tundu Lissu:
Good morning dear members.
I believe many of you will have, by now, heard of the bombing of the law offices of Messrs. IMMMA Advocates in Dar early this morning.
While it may be too early to say anything about the perpetrators of this most heinous crime or their motives, it must be clear that it's somehow connected to the work of IMMMA Advocates as lawyers and advocates.
That being the case, the bombing attack must be taken for what it really is: an attack on the freedom and independence of the lawyers and the legal profession.
Whatever the motives and whoever the perpetrators, this is unacceptable and intolerable.
As I said at the last AGM in March of this year, an attack on one member of our Law Society, must be taken as an attack on all members of the Society.
The time has now come to walk our talk. I've, in this regard, called an emergency meeting of the Governing Council to deliberate on this odious attack and propose a course of action to you members.
I ask you all to remain calm but vigilant during this tense moment. We'll appraise you of the deliberations of the Governing Council at the soonest.
I wish you well and please be safe.
Hon. Tundu AM Lissu
President
