Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu has been found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison for incitement to unrest, Deutsche Welle reported. He had faced a treason trial that could have carried the death penalty by hanging. The verdict raises questions about whether dissenting voices can be heard in Tanzania. Deutsche Welle framed the outcome as a test of the country's democracy, with critics asking whether the state tolerates opposition under its current system.
