By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

A Tanzanian university lecturer who was arrested earlier this month over allegations of inciting anti-government protests has now been charged with terrorism.

Gerald Shija, chairman of the University of Dodoma Academic Staff Association (Udomasa), said Kaijage had been transferred from police custody to Isanga Prison in the capital, Dodoma.

His case comes amid a broader crackdown by the authorities on opposition figures and activists critical of President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
