Mwanamke wa Australia amekamatwa na kushtakiwa nchini Tanzania muda mfupi baada ya kukosoa jinsi Rais wa Tanzania anavyoshughulikia janga la COVID-19 katika chapisho la mitandao ya kijamii.
Zara Kay, raia wa Australia ambaye alizaliwa nchini Tanzania, aliambiwa afike kituo cha polisi katika jiji la Dar es Salaam mnamo Desemba 28 kabla ya kuzuiliwa kwa saa 32.
Polisi Nchini Tanzania wamesema mwanaharakati huyo anakabiliwa na mashtaka ya uhamiaji ya kuwa na uraia pacha na jalada la kesi yake limeshaandaliwa

An Australian woman has been arrested and charged in Tanzania shortly after criticising the Tanzanian President's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in a satirical social media post.
Zara Kay, an Australian citizen who was born in Tanzania, was told to attend a police station in the city of Dar es Salaam on December 28 before being detained for 32 hours.

Authorities confiscated the Monash University-educated activist's Australian passport before bailing her on December 29.
In a tweet posted on her account on January 1, Ms Kay said: "I'm out on bail, thank you all for the support. I'm still quite traumatised from everything. Please don't stop fighting for me. They can try shaking me, but they won't break me".
The arrest, first reported by the ABC, has sparked renewed concern about Tanzania's crackdowns on activists critical of the government.
