12. Freedom of Expression
This was among the most violated human rights in 2017, characterized by attacks
and threats to journalists, ban of media houses and arbitrary application of freedom
of expression laws, including the Media Services Act of 2016. LHRC and ZLSC’s
Tanzania Civil and Political Rights Perceptions Index 2017 indicates that this right
is more restricted when it comes to discussing political issues, violating the right to
participate in political life in the process.

Media Freedom: Several incidents of threats and harassment were reported, including
raid of offices of Clouds Media by the Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner and
threat and arbitrary arrest of 10 journalists by a district commissioner in Arusha.

A total of 4 print media outlets were banned and fined for different reasons, including under
the highly criticized Media Services Act, which contains vague provisions subject
to abuse.

A journalist with Mwananchi Communications Limited, Azory Gwanda,
was also reported to have been abducted by unknown people in Pwani Region in
November 2017, and remains missing.

In September 2017, the Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations bill was introduced, containing a number of provisions which threaten media freedom (social media) and freedom of
expression at large.
 
1.5. Freedom from Torture
In 2017, LHRC documented at least 22 incidents of torture, majority of which (15)
were death penalty-which constitutes torture. These incidents include that of a local
artist called Roma Mkatoliki and his colleagues. Several incidents of child torture
were also reported. However, fewer incidents of torture are documented, including of
suspects under police custody. Another challenge is that Tanzania is yet to ratify the
United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment.

If Tanzania hasn't ratified the said UN Convention, then it doesn't know the merit of it thus making no dot of blame on it!
