    The treason case against Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu has been adjourned to June 16th. During the hearing, Principal Magistrate Godfrey Mhini ordered the prosecution to provide an update on the status of investigations and clarify whether they intend to formally prosecute the CHADEMA leader, who has been held in prison for nearly two months. The case has drawn widespread attention beyond Tanzania, with Lissu’s lawyers appealing to the united nations to declare his detention arbitrary.
