Tanzanian police arrest activist whose employers thought had been abducted via SABCNewsOnline
Police arrested activist Tito Magoti with three other unnamed people on Friday on “various allegations”, Dar es Salaam’s police chief Lazaro Mambosasa told reporters.Police earlier said they had no information on Magoti after his organization alleged he had been abducted, in what initially appeared to be the latest in a series of abductions in the East African nation.
The group that employs Magoti has been a vocal advocate for rights in Tanzania, including demanding an investigation into an assassination attempt on leading opposition figure Tundu Lissu, who was shot 16 times by unknown gunmen in September 2017.
