Tanzania Charges Protesters with Treason 🇹🇿

Tanzania charged more than 200 people with treason following violent protests over last month's disputed presidential election. President Samia Suluhu Hassan claimed victory with 98% of the vote, but opposition leaders branded the poll a "sham." Hundreds of protesters were brought to court in Dar es Salaam, facing charges of "conspiracy to commit treason." Lawyers allege widespread torture and abuse in detention. The opposition party CHADEMA says at least 800 people were killed in the post-election crackdown, with senior leaders now under arrest or in hiding. The African Union has said Tanzania's vote failed to meet democratic standards, as the country faces mounting criticism for its handling of political dissent.
