 The High Court in Tanzania has ruled that a terrorism case against the ministry's main opposition leader can go ahead as planned, dismissing objections by Freeman Mbowe's Chadema Party. Defense lawyers argued that the court's corruption and economic crime division, where Mbowe appeared, had no power to hear the case. The opposition leader was arrested last month shortly before he was due to hold a public forum to demand constitutional reform in Tanzania. His supporters have described the charges as politically motivated and accused the police of torturing Mbowe.
