Tanzania's jailed opposition leader Tundu Lissu will start a hunger strike on October 26, 2026, to protest prison authorities' refusal to allow court-ordered private meetings with his lawyers. Lissu, who survived being shot 16 times in a 2017 assassination attempt, faces a treason charge that could result in the death penalty. His trial is ongoing in Dar es Salaam.
