Dar es Salaam. Chadema national chairman Tundu Lissu on Monday, September 15, 2025 refused to proceed with his treason trial at the High Court’s Sub-Registry in Dar es Salaam, insisting that the hearing should be adjourned until his supporters, whom he claimed had been expelled from the courtroom, were allowed back in.
Lissu made the demand at the start of arguments on the second ground of his objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to hear the case. He told a three-judge panel that it was unacceptable for police to order people out of what was supposed to be an open court.
