坦桑尼亚被监禁的反对派领导人图恩杜·利苏将于周一开始绝食抗议，抗议狱方据称拒绝执行法院命令，允许他与律师进行私下会见，他的律师周六表示。
KHALED KAZZIHA Tanzania’s jailed opposition leader Tundu Lissu will begin a hunger strike Monday to protest prison authorities’ alleged refusal to allow court-ordered private consultations with his lawyers, his lawyer said Saturday.
利苏在2017年一次暗杀企图中中枪16次却幸存下来，目前面临叛国罪指控，可能被判处死刑。坦桑尼亚主要反对党“民主与进步党”（Chadema）领袖已被羁押逾18个月，最终判决定于11月6日宣读。
Lissu, who survived being shot 16 times in a 2017 assassination attempt, faces a treason charge carrying a possible death sentence. The leader of Chadema, Tanzania’s main opposition party, has been detained for more than 18 months, with a final judgment scheduled for Nov. 6.
律师鲁格梅莱扎·恩沙拉表示，利苏在狱中会见期间告知了他绝食计划。恩沙拉在达累斯萨拉姆对记者说，他曾警告利苏这将危及健康，因为利苏需要依靠药物维持。恩沙拉说，利苏已做好停止服药的准备。
The lawyer, Rugemeleza Nshala, said Lissu told him of the planned strike during a meeting in prison. Speaking to journalists in Dar es Salaam, Nshala said he warned Lissu about the implications for his health because he relies on medication. Nshala said Lissu was prepared to stop taking his medication.
恩沙拉引述利苏的话说：“我已准备好承担后果，但我将为法治而战。”
“I am ready to face the consequences, but I will fight for the rule of law,” Nshala quoted him as saying.
恩沙拉表示，尽管有法院命令，狱方仍拒绝允许私下会见，有时甚至完全禁止会见。
Nshala said authorities had denied private consultations despite a court order and, on some occasions, barred access to Lissu altogether.
恩沙拉说，利苏质疑为何法院决定将他继续羁押的裁决得以执行，而保护其会见律师权利的命令却据称被无视。狱方、警方和政府均未就计划中的绝食抗议发表公开声明。
Lissu questioned why court decisions keeping him in custody were enforced while an order protecting his access to lawyers was allegedly disregarded, Nshala said. Prison authorities, police and the government had issued no public statements on the planned hunger strike.
利苏于2025年4月9日在参加呼吁大选前进行选举改革的集会发表讲话后被捕，次日被控叛国罪。
Lissu was arrested April 9, 2025, after addressing a rally calling for electoral reforms ahead of that year’s general election. He was charged with treason the following day .
自暗杀未遂以来，他曾多次流亡海外，理由是生命受到威胁。2025年5月，他曾因被要求远程出庭而非亲自出庭发起绝食抗议。
He has spent periods in exile since the assassination attempt, citing threats to his life. In May 2025, he went on hunger strike to protest being required to appear in court remotely rather than in person.
坦桑尼亚两大反对党的总统候选人被禁止参加2025年10月的大选，此举引发抗议和致命暴力冲突。
Presidential candidates from Tanzania’s two main opposition parties were barred from contesting the October 2025 election, which triggered protests and deadly violence.
一项针对选举暴力的调查于四月认定，至少有518人死亡。主持该调查的Mohamed Chande Othman表示，实际死亡人数可能更高，因为一些家庭在未将亲属遗体送往太平间的情况下直接安葬。
An inquiry into the election violence found in April that at least 518 people died . Mohamed Chande Othman, who chaired the inquiry, said the toll was likely higher because some families buried relatives without taking their bodies to morgues.
联合国此前曾呼吁对这些杀戮以及警方将遗体从太平间转移至未披露地点的报道展开调查。Chadema（民主与进步党）称死亡人数约为2000人，联合国表示，由于选举期间局势动荡和互联网中断，无法核实这一数字。
The United Nations had earlier called for an investigation into the killings and reports that police removed bodies from mortuaries to undisclosed locations. Chadema put the death toll at about 2,000, a figure the U.N. said it could not verify amid insecurity and an internet shutdown during the election period.
