Police Commander Martin Otieno confirmed the arrest and said Mr Lissu
was taken to central police station for interrogations. He however did
not give details as why they made the arrest.

Director for Protocol, Communication and Foreign Affairs John Mrema
told The Citizen that they have also received the arrest information and
were mobilising their lawyers.
“We have already
called our advocates and they are on their way to the central police
station, first to ascertain if he really there and why he was arrested,”
said Mr Mrema.
On Wednesday, Mr Lissu who is also a
Chief Legal Officer for Chadema refused to leave Dodoma District Court
for over three hours to avoid being arrested by police.
He
said his wife informed him that plainclothes police arrived at his Dar
es Salaam resident to arrest and feared they must have communicated with
their colleagues in Dodoma to arrest him. He only left when Dodoma
police boss Lazaro Mambosasa assured him he was not going to be
arrested.
On Monday, Mr Lissu appealed to the
international community to cut financial support to President Magufuli’s
administration as efforts to press for respect for principles of
democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
The
government through the director of Information Services Dr Hassan Abbas
was dismayed by the remarks which he said were inflammatory.
