Lissu: I am accused of treason, not one of your comrades

Chadema national chairman Tundu Lissu

Dar es Salaam. Chadema national chairman Tundu Lissu has asked the court to direct the Republic’s lawyers to refer to him as “the accused” rather than using the term “our colleague.”

Mr Lissu said that since he is facing a treason charge, he should be formally addressed as such, not as a colleague, by the prosecution.
