英国外交部11月10日动态:对坦桑尼亚反对派领袖利苏被定罪深表关切;英公民医疗遣返公司又增一家

英国外交、联邦与发展事务部(FCDO)11月10日通过 GOV.UK 发布两项更新:就坦桑尼亚反对派领袖 Tundu Lissu 被定罪发表正式声明,对定罪深表关切,敦促坦桑尼亚维护公正审判权利、政治和解、民主与法治;同日,面向在海外重伤或重病英国公民的医疗遣返公司名单新增一家服务商。
声明说,英国对坦桑尼亚主要反对党民主与发展党(CHADEMA)主席 Tundu Lissu 以煽动罪被定罪深表关切。声明援引联合国任意拘留问题工作组的意见(第74/2025号意见)指出,该工作组认定对利苏的拘留属任意拘留、缺乏充分法律依据、伴随严重的公正审判问题,违反《世界人权宣言》的保护规定以及坦桑尼亚作为缔约国的《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》义务。
声明重申坦桑尼亚依国际人权法负有的义务,包括维护公正审判权、言论自由、政治参与权与法律面前人人平等的权利。声明支持坦桑尼亚总统调查委员会的看法,即政治和解是愈合2025年10月大选前后暴力所造成创伤、恢复和平、信任与团结的重要一步,并敦促坦桑尼亚当局履行这一和解承诺,维护多元民主、公正审判、正当程序与法治原则。这份声明以负责非洲与国际发展事务的大臣 Kirsty McNeill 的名义发布。
案件背景方面,坦桑尼亚高等法院11月6日裁定利苏叛国罪不成立,同时以煽动罪判处他四年监禁;利苏自2025年4月被捕以来一直被羁押。本站已就判决本身作详细报道。

同日的另一项更新来自领事服务。英国外交部更新《英国医疗遣返公司名单》,把 Arley Medical Services Ltd 加入服务商名单。这份名单供在海外严重患病或受伤、需要医疗转运回英国的英国公民查询选用,外交部同时声明名单仅供参考、不对所列公司作推荐或担保,选用前须自行核查该公司能否从所在国家或地区转运病人、所提供的交通与医疗支持、全部费用构成及所需注册资质。名单近期变动频繁:11月3日刚新增 MCP Medical 与 A.A.L.S Medical Services 两家,并移除 000 Medical Repatriation Ltd 与 Rosy International 两家。

UK Foreign Office Roundup for November 10: Deep Concern Over Conviction of Tanzanian Opposition Leader Tundu Lissu; One More Company Added to the List of Medical Repatriation Companies for British Citizens
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) published two updates through GOV.UK on November 10: a formal statement on the conviction of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu, expressing deep concern and urging Tanzania to uphold fair trial rights, political reconciliation, democracy and the rule of law; and an addition to its list of medical repatriation companies for British nationals who are seriously ill or injured abroad.
In its statement, the UK said it was deeply concerned following the conviction of Tundu Lissu, chairman of Tanzania's main opposition party CHADEMA, on charges of incitement. The statement recalled the findings of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (Opinion No. 74/2025), which concluded that Mr Lissu's detention was arbitrary, lacked sufficient legal basis, was accompanied by serious fair trial concerns and contravened protections in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Tanzania's obligations as a State Party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The statement further recalled Tanzania's obligations under international human rights law, including to uphold the rights to a fair trial, freedom of expression, political participation and equal treatment before the law. It supported the Presidential Commission of Inquiry's view that political reconciliation is an important step to healing the wounds caused by the violence surrounding the October 2025 elections and restoring peace, trust and solidarity, and urged the Tanzanian authorities to uphold that commitment to reconciliation, to a pluralist democracy, and to the principles of a fair trial, due process and the rule of law. The statement was issued in the name of Kirsty McNeill, Minister for Africa and International Development.
On the background to the case, Tanzania's High Court on November 6 acquitted Lissu of treason while convicting him of incitement and sentencing him to four years in prison; he had been in detention since his arrest in April 2025. GSM has reported the verdict itself in detail.
The second update of the day came from consular services. The FCDO updated its guidance "Medical repatriation companies in the UK", adding Arley Medical Services Ltd to the list of providers. The list is for British nationals who are seriously ill or injured abroad and need medical evacuation to the UK; the FCDO states that the list is provided for information only and that it does not recommend or endorse any company listed, and that users must check whether a company can repatriate a patient from the relevant country or territory, the transport and medical support it provides, the full cost and what the service includes, and the registrations or approvals it holds. The list has changed frequently in recent weeks: on November 3, MCP Medical and A.A.L.S Medical Services were added and 000 Medical Repatriation Ltd and Rosy International were removed.
