In a statement released by Chadema, the party condemned the restrictions placed on their members who were en route to Mbeya to mark International Youth Day on August 12.
They claimed that non-CCM youth in Tanzania were being unjustly prohibited from gathering by the police and the Deputy Registrar of Political Parties, Sisty Nyahoza.
Tanzanian police have arrested opposition leader Tundu Lissu and other Chadema Party leaders in Mbeya, a region located in south west Tanzania, ahead of an International Youth Day rally scheduled for today, Monday August 12.
