Source: France 24 [French state media]

“Police in Tanzania arrested a senior official from opposition party Chadema on Saturday and authorities named nine others being sought in relation to violent protests that followed last week’s elections. Chadema and some human rights activists say that security forces killed more than 1,000 people. The government has called those numbers exaggerated without offering its own death toll. Chadema said its deputy secretary general, Amani Golugwa, was arrested by police. Golugwa was named by police along with nine others as wanted in connection with the investigation into the unrest, a day after prosecutors charged 145 people with treason.” (11/08/25)
