Tanzania’s High Court on Monday again postponed the treason trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu, this time to Wednesday, February 11, when it is expected to rule on objections he has raised.
The case was last adjourned in November after Lissu objected to prosecution witnesses testifying from concealed locations. He opposed the use of hidden compartments and insisted on “face-to-face” cross-examination.
