Arusha Police said that they arrested Tundu Lissu and others for participating in an unlawful assembly and obstructing the police from performing their duties.
On Wednesday, Lissu proved wrong people who might have thought that the politician has changed in the way he talks about those in power.
Firebrand politician Tundu Lissu arrived in Tanzania on Wednesday after living in exile for six years. But where did all this start?
Tanzania has reported no domestic case, but health authorities are keeping enhanced screening and readiness measures in force as the regional outbreak evolves.
Mnyika said the IPU should listen to all political sides rather than relying on statements delivered during the opening of the assembly.
The state argues that the disputed words were published to the public and that the missing video does not prevent a conviction.
The prosecution is due to begin its closing submission on September 29 after Lissu argued that the evidence leaves no case to answer.
Lissu says prosecution witnesses put the camera, livestream, and upload in Jambo TV’s hands — not his.
The defence argues that the alleged words are neither treason nor another criminal offence, and that spoken words cannot amount to an overt act under the charge.
The defence argues that the indictment does not identify the people or state organ allegedly threatened.
