Foul Play in Tanzanian Politics – Amnesty Intertional

Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 08:19 am

The Amnesty International alleges in a document posted on Monday that Tanzanian President John Magufuli’s authorities is actively repressing the political opposition as rapidly-passed legal guidelines restricting the freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association are being weaponized to control and stifle anyone inside the populace that opposes the modern head of state.

A tactic that the Human Rights NGO states has been employed by way of Magufuli when you consider that his election in 2015. Concerns additionally encompass the questionable seven-day suspension of the ruling party’s essential political opponent Tundu Lissu in early this month simply a few strange weeks earlier than the election on October 28.

Which will figure out whether or not the modern president and Chama Cha Mapinduzi candidate will correctly be voted in with the aid of Tanzanians for a 2nd time period over Lissu who hails from the Chadema party.
