OHCHR | UN rights chief disturbed by harassment of opposition following Tanzania elections
GENEVA (10 November 2020) – UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on Tuesday said she was disturbed by reports of continued intimidation and harassment against opposition leaders and members in Tanzania in the aftermath of the general elections. She called on the authorities to ensure people are able to express their grievances without fear of reprisals.

Reports indicate that at least 150 opposition leaders and members have been arrested since 27 October in mainland Tanzania and in Zanzibar. While most have been subsequently released, at least 18 reportedly remain in custody.&

Police officials have stated that the individuals arrested were planning violent protests. Police officials warned publicly on 31 October 2020 that they would not allow protests to go ahead, citing alleged plans to cause chaos, and they threatened to use force and detain anyone taking part in demonstrations.

"The tense situation in the country will not be defused by silencing those who challenge the outcome of the elections, but rather through a participatory dialogue," Bachelet said. "I urge the Tanzanian authorities to respect and facilitate exercise of the rights to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly."

The High Commissioner called for the immediate release of those detained for exercising their human rights. She called on the Government of Tanzania to ensure that security forces and law enforcement officials act according to the rule of law and human rights norms and standards.

Under international law, there is a presumption in favour of considering assemblies to be peaceful, the High Commissioner stressed.*

These developments follow reported pre-election intimidation and harassment of civil society organisations and journalists, as well as allegations of police brutality against opposition members and supporters on the day of the election. Bachelet called for prompt, thorough, independent and impartial investigations into all allegations of human rights violations before, during and after the polls – particularly into the killing of at least 10 people and the injuries sustained by over 50 others in Zanzibar on 26 October.

The High Commissioner also expressed concern at Internet restrictions, including the blocking of many social media and messaging platforms, and the censoring of election-related content.

"Free flow of information is critical to any democratic society, and especially so in an electoral context," the High Commissioner said, adding that any restrictions on information and communication technology must be in line with international human rights laws and standards.

There isn't any tense situation inTanzania. The country is now on a normal course after the 28/10/2020 General Elections and that the winner has been announced and the defeated have been known. What is happening is that some contestants in this GE came with their pre - planned RESULTS in their minds and in their POCKETS. This is depicted by their words that if they are not declared winners, they will go on streets for ENDLESS VIOLENT DEMONSTRATIONS. In fact, it is such words that ended in their arrests. ARRESTS, is a common and logic course of action for people of that type. This is done all over the world, even in Europe!
