Tanzania frees opposition leaders

Dodoma [Tanzania], November 12: Police in Tanzania have released several senior opposition leaders detained following the deadly protests that followed last month's disputed elections, according to the main opposition party, Chadema.
Four senior Chadema officials arrested last week for their alleged role in the protests were released on bail on Monday, the party said on social media.
The unrest came when authorities cracked down on demonstrations against the re-election of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who was declared the winner of the disputed election with nearly 98 percent of the vote.
Chadema vice chairman John Heche and deputy secretary-general Amani Golugwa were among those released.
Heche was arrested on October 22 and questioned on suspicion of terrorism, according to his lawyer. Golugwa had been arrested over the weekend. Godbless Lema, a member of Chadema's central committee, and Boniface Jacob, chairman of the party's coastal region branch, were also freed.
