Raia sita wa Kenya ambao ni waandishi wa habari wamekamatwa visiwani Zanzibar kwa kosa la kuingia katika visiwa hivyo bila ya kuwa na vibali halali kama Viza.
- Hata hivyo Viza si lazima kwa raia wa nchi wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki ambapo Kenya za Zanzibar ambayo ni sehemu ya Jamhuri wa Muungano wa Tanzania ni wanachama.

Six Kenyan journalists were arrested in Zanzibar on Thursday for not having visas despite the lack of this requirement.
They were denied entry after landing at about 10am for a drone camp training.
A trainer, who spoke to The Star by phone, confirmed the arrests but said they did not know what would happen next.
"They are still with the officers. We are worried for them," she said.
Reached for comment, East African Affairs PS Betty Maina said they were not aware of the incident but would look into it.
"There is no requirement for visas to Zanzibar," she noted. "We are checking with our teams."
A visa is not required as Zanzibar is part of the East Africa Community.
