💨 Abstract

Police in Tanzania blocked access to the homes of two opposition leaders, Freeman Mbowe and Tundu Lissu, ahead of a planned protest against alleged killings and abductions of opposition officials. The demonstration was banned by authorities. The East African country's rights record has improved under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, but police abuses against government critics have persisted, particularly in the run-up to local and national elections.
