Champion of Democracy, Justice, and Progress
In Berlin, we celebrate freedom. We know what it means to tear down walls. Thousands of kilometers away, in Tanzania, one of the country's bravest voices is being silenced behind bars. During Berlin Freedom Week, we are taking a stand—for Tundu Lissu.
Who is Tundu Lissu?
A lifetime dedicated to justice, democracy, and the people of Tanzania
Tundu Lissu is no ordinary prisoner. He is a lawyer, a human rights defender, and the Chairman of Tanzania's main opposition party (CHADEMA). His entire life, he has fearlessly fought against corruption and for democracy. This fight almost cost him his life. In 2017, he survived a brutal assassination attempt—shot 16 times. They wanted to silence him, but after years in exile, he returned to Tanzania to continue his struggle.
The Injustice: Detained Since April 10, 2025
Since April 10, 2025, Tundu Lissu has once again been robbed of his freedom—arrested on flimsy, politically motivated charges. His imprisonment is a clear attack on free speech and an attempt to intimidate the opposition in Tanzania. He is a political prisoner.
Berlin, Take a Stand!
Berlin Freedom Week reminds us that freedom is never guaranteed; it must be defended every single day—everywhere. When a voice like Tundu Lissu’s is suppressed, it is an attack on the freedom of us all. We cannot remain silent.
Our Demand
We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Tundu Lissu!
Take Action Now!
Your voice matters. Help us increase the pressure on the Tanzanian government: sign the petition, share his story, and speak out. Use social media, talk about his case, and post a picture with Tundu Lissu’s photo under #FreeTunduLissu and #FreedomWeekBerlin. Contact your political representatives and ask them to advocate for Tundu Lissu at a diplomatic level. Let us be his voice until he is free to use his own again.
