flag Tanzania charges 76 with treason over post-election protests amid claims of violence and election fraud.

Tanzanian authorities have charged 76 people with treason over protests following the October 29 election, accusing them of attempting to intimidate officials in Dar es Salaam. The charges come after violent unrest that left an unknown number dead, with the opposition alleging over 1,000 deaths and secret disposal of bodies. President Samia Suluhu Hassan won over 97% of the vote, though major opposition figures were barred from running. The African Union and rights groups criticized the election, citing ballot stuffing, multiple ballots, and a repressive environment, while the government denies allegations of human rights abuses.
