Nusrati Shaban Hanje and Others v Republic (DC Criminal Appeal No. 111 of 2020) [2020] TZHC 2208; (26 August 2020)
The appellants were charged with four offences under various laws: unlawful assembly, insulting the National Flag, use of offensive conducts conducive to breach of peace and attempting to communicate classified information.
The accused persons were kept in remand custody pending hearing after their bail applications were denied. They appealed to the High Court challenging the certificate to object bail (the certificate). They argued that the DPP acted irregularly for citing a non-existent law in the certificate.
