United Against Torture Consortium (UATC) members, IRCT, FIACAT, Omega, OMCT, and REDRESS, together with Change Africa Trust, the Center for Strategic Litigation, and the Pan African Lawyers Union, have made a joint submission as part of the 4th Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Tanzania. The submission exposes the scale and nature of a continued pattern of serious violations, including torture and other ill‑treatment, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detention, and a crackdown on freedoms of expression, assembly, digital rights, and access to information in Tanzania. It also sets out targeted recommendations to address key gaps in protection and accountability.
