A Tanzanian university lecturer who was arrested earlier this month over allegations of inciting anti-government protests has now been charged with terrorism. He was among more than 130 people arrested over planned protests calling for democratic reforms and justice for those killed in a post-poll crackdown last year. The academic will now remain in custody until his case goes to trial as terrorism offences are generally not eligible for bail. He was arrested a day after the planned nationwide protests and initially charged with inciting people to join them. Under Tanzanian law, offences such as recruiting for, facilitating, harbouring or supporting terrorists or terrorist groups carry severe penalties.
