[LHRC]

The Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) has called upon the government of Tanzania and responsible authorities to fully implement the decision of the High Court of Tanzania declaring Regulation 8 of the Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations, 2020 unconstitutional for violating the right to be heard as guaranteed under Article 13(6)(a) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977.

In its public statement, LHRC described the judgement as an important step in strengthening constitutionalism, the rule of law, and the protection of digital rights and freedom of expression in Tanzania. The court emphasized that all regulatory authorities must observe principles of natural justice and fair hearing before taking administrative actions against individuals or online platforms.

LHRC further noted that the decision reflects the importance of safeguarding civic space and ensuring that laws regulating online content comply with constitutional and international human rights standards. The organisation also highlighted the need for reforms in laws and regulations that continue to limit freedom of expression, access to information, and digital participation.

As an organisation committed to the promotion and protection of human rights, LHRC continues to advocate for a democratic and rights-based legal framework that respects constitutional values and fundamental freedoms.
