Summary

A Tanzanian political science lecturer, Melkisedek Kaijage, faces terrorism charges after being arrested for allegedly inciting protests calling for democratic reforms — charges that now bar him from bail. Initially detained for planning demonstrations banned by authorities, Kaijage’s case reflects a broader crackdown on dissent under President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration, amid lingering unrest following a disputed election and hundreds of reported deaths. Despite being known as a respected academic, not a political activist, his detention underscores escalating tensions and the government’s tightening grip on opposition voices.
