Tanzanian politician's lawyers ask UN to declare his detention arbitrary
Tanzanian opposition leader and former presidential candidate of CHADEMA party Tundu Lissu waves to his supporters as he arrives at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate Court in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania May 19, 2025. REUTERS/Emmanuel Herman/File Photo NAIROBI (Reuters) -Lawyers for Tanzania's jailed opposition leader Tundu Lissu filed a complaint on Friday to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in a bid to ramp up international pressure for his release. Lissu, chairman of Tanzania's main opposition party and runner-up in the 2020 presidential election, was arrested last month and charged with treason, a capital offence, over comments he is alleged to have made calling on supporters to prevent national elections in October from going ahead. Tanzania's government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won plaudits for easing political repression, she has faced questions about unexplained abductions of government critics in recent months. Hassan, who will stand for re-election in October, has said her government respects human rights and ordered an investigation into the reported abductions. Lissu's international lawyer, Robert Amsterdam, said the confidential complaint to the U.N. working group, which issues opinions but has no enforcement power, was part of a wider pressure campaign. The European Parliament this month adopted a resolution denouncing Lissu's arrest as politically motivated, and Amsterdam said he would petition the U.S. State Department to impose sanctions. "Right down to prosecutors, judges, police - all the people that are involved in this false show trial had better be aware that they should protect their U.S. assets," Amsterdam told Reuters. In response to the European Parliament resolution, Tanzania's foreign ministry said outside criticisms about the case were based on "incomplete or partisan information". The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Lissu, who was shot 16 times in a 2017 attack for which no one has ever been charged, will appear in court on Monday. Before he appeared in court last week, authorities detained a Kenyan and a Ugandan rights activist who had come to attend the hearing. They were abandoned several days later near the borders of their home countries, and the Kenyan activist, Boniface Mwangi, said both were badly tortured while in custody. Tanzanian officials have not responded to requests for comment about the allegation. Hassan has warned outsiders against "invading and interfering in our affairs".

KL RTD officers may face disciplinary action over undeclared asset disposals
KANGAR: Road Transport Department (RTD) officers who fail to declare the disposal of assets in the department's Human Resource Information Management System (HRMIS) may be referred to the Disciplinary Committee if elements of non-compliance are found. This follows a report from the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) today, which found that several vehicles registered under the names of Kuala Lumpur RTD officers had not yet been declared as disposed of in the HRMIS, as required by the department. RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department is aware of the incident but will review the EAIC report before taking appropriate action. "We will monitor officers who fail to declare the disposal of assets, as required under the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993. From our side, every disposed asset must be redeclared in the HRMIS system. "In this matter as well, we will first study the EAIC report before taking appropriate action against the Kuala Lumpur RTD officers concerned, as reported by the media," he told reporters after presenting MyLesen (B2) driving licence to 800 recipients comprising students and underprivileged youth at Dewan Warisan today. Present was Perlis RTD director, Noraini Mohd Nawi. Aedy Fadly said the department will consider various aspects to determine whether there has been a breach of the existing regulations. "If there is a breach of the rules set by the government, then the officers involved may be referred to the Disciplinary Committee, which is a standard process implemented by RTD. "This declaration is an obligation not only within RTD but applies to all civil servants," he said. Earlier today, the EAIC, in a statement said it had received a complaint against the Federal Territory RTD involving several vehicle registration numbers, and an investigation was carried out under subsection 27(4) of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Act 700). EAIC's investigation found that several vehicles registered under the names of Kuala Lumpur RTD officers had not been declared as disposed of in the HRMIS system, even though those vehicles had not been in the officers' possession for a significant period of time.

Jakim lodges police report over fraudulent use of fund's name
KUALA LUMPUR: The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) has filed a police report over the fraudulent use of one of its fund names. Jakim director-general Datuk Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee said the department also informed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) about a scam syndicate using the Jakim–Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) Musa'adah Fund name to illegally solicit donations. Sirajuddin said the report was made to enable investigations and firm action to be taken under the relevant legal provisions. "Jakim takes seriously public complaints regarding the existence of a scam syndicate misusing the name of the Jakim–YWM Musa'adah Fund for unauthorised fundraising purposes. "For the record, Jakim has never appointed nor engaged in any form of collaboration with any individual or company to represent Jakim in collecting donations for the Musa'adah Fund," he said in a statement today. Sirajuddin also urged all parties to remain vigilant against the existence of such syndicates.
