Tanzania is seeking to arrest senior opposition figures it blames for deadly protests that swept the country during last week's presidential and parliamentary elections.

The main opposition party, CHADEMA, and some human rights activists say security forces killed more than 1000 people.

The government has called those numbers exaggerated without offering its own death toll.

Police on Saturday listed 10 people who are wanted in connection with their investigation of the unrest, a day after prosecutors charged 145 people with treason.

"The police force, in collaboration with other defence and security agencies, is continuing a serious manhunt to find all who planned, co-ordinated and executed this evil act," the spokesman for the police said in a statement.
