Tanzania's High Court has acquitted opposition leader Tundu Lissu of treason charges, but convicted him of incitement. Lissu was initially charged with treason for comments made during an election campaign speech, which could have carried the death penalty. However, the court found no evidence to support the treason charge. Instead, he was sentenced to four years in prison for inciting unrest. The ruling comes after 19 months of detention and international criticism.
