Tundu Lissu  
Tundu A. Lissu is the deputy chairman of the largest opposition party in Tanzania and was their presidential candidate for the elections in October 2020. The trained lawyer who completed his studies in the USA and for many years represented the rights of the rural population against multilateral companies and their exploitation of Tanzania, was elected to the Tanzanian parliament for the first time in 2010  and from 2015 acted as group leader of CHADEMA in the Parliament. During this time he became the toughest critic of the President and his government. He has been regularly arrested for this and a number of legal proceedings have been brought against him. In September 2017 he miraculously survived an assassination attempt where he was shot 16 times. More than 20 operations later and after more than two years of rehabilitation, first in Kenya and then in Belgium, he returned to Tanzania at the end of July 2020 to show people a democratic alternative. After hundreds of opposition members were arrested and dozens of security forces were killed in the aftermath of the elections, Lissu sought refuge in the residence of the German ambassador in Dar es Salaam before he was able to leave the country, thanks to the efforts of the Belgian ambassador and others.
