AFP -Freeman Mbowe says he has been tortured in custody
A court in Dar es Salaam has ruled that Freeman Mbowe, the leader of Tanzania's main opposition party, will have to stand trial on charges of terrorism, prolonging a case that some see as political.
Mr Mbowe was arrested last July along with a number of senior officials of the Chadema party, just hours before they were to hold a public meeting to demand constitutional reforms.
He was charged with financing terrorism and conspiracy.
The 60-year-old leader said he had been tortured in custody.
His party, Chadema, accused the government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan of meddling - saying Mr Mbowe's incarceration reflected a deepening slide into "dictatorship."
