Dar es Salaam. The European Parliament has called for the immediate and unconditional release of Tanzanian opposition politician Tundu Lissu, who is facing treason charges following his arrest at a political rally in Mbinga on April 9.
In a resolution adopted during its plenary session on May 7, the EU Parliament described the charges as politically motivated and warned that they carry the risk of the death penalty, which the EU opposes in all circumstances.
