Authorities in Tanzania have charged hundreds of people with treason over demonstrations around disputed polls last month.
This comes as a major escalation of political tension as the country reels from violence in which an unknown number of people were killed.
In addition to dozens criminally-charged in Dar es Salaam, dozens more face similar treason charges elsewhere in the East African nation, according to numerous charge sheets that became publicly available Saturday.
Wanted suspects include influential preacher Josephat Gwajima who had his church deregistered earlier this year, after he criticised the government over rights abuses.
Police also issued arrest warrants for some of the top opposition officials who hadn't yet been jailed.
This as Tanzania's vice president Emmanuel Nchimbi announced that the government of President Samai Suluhu Hassan has taken steps to restore harmony.
