Over 300 Tanzanians, including politicians, activists, and minors as young as 13, are facing treason charges following arrests related to the disputed October 29 elections. This crackdown occurs amidst denials by the opposition Chadema party of ongoing talks with the Samia Suluhu government and concerns raised by the UN regarding election-related violence.

• 302 people are specifically charged with treason, an offense punishable by death in Tanzania.
• The Chadema opposition party, through its deputy leader John Heche, denies engaging in negotiations, reiterating their commitment to fighting for democracy.
• Notable social media personalities, including Jenifer Jovin (Niffer), Mika Chavala, Ms_Walterss, Ruthmelda Silaa (strong_income), and detha_obven, are among those facing charges, with the Tanganyika Law Society offering pro bono legal assistance.
