UCHAGUZI 29 OKTOBA. Ee Mungu Tunawaombea marehemu wetu raha ya milele. Tuwazike kwa heshima, kuwafariji wafiwa, kuuguza majeruhi, kusaidia waathirika. Tuombe toba kuondosha sifa za taifa letu kwa kutotambua HAKI ndiyo msingi wa yote na haina mbadala. Twakuomba utusikie

Today, 7th November 2025, we, the undersigned Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), strongly condemn widespread human rights violations that occurred before, during, and after Tanzania’s 2025 General Elections.
These include killings of civilians, unlawful arrests, abductions, enforced disappearances, suppression of media freedoms, an internet shutdown, and denial of due process rights.
There are verified reports of excessive use of force against unarmed demonstrators, including reprisal killings of civilians, some in their own homes. Families have been left traumatized, and children have witnessed violence against their parents.
Journalists were not spared: Master Tindwa (Clouds Media) was killed at his home in Temeke, Kelvin Lameck Mwakangondya (Baraka FM, Mbeya) was killed while on duty, A journalist from Azam Media was seriously injured, and two others, Godfrey Thomas (Ayo TV) and Alphonce Kusaga (Sunrise Radio), were arrested in Arusha. A religious leader, Sheikh Msopa, was shot dead at his home in Dar es Salaam.
We also note reports of mass arrests and detentions of hundreds of civilians, particularly youth, across several regions, many still held without bail or court appearance. For six consecutive days since 29th October, the nationwide internet shutdown restricted access to information, monitoring of elections, and exposure of rights violations, in direct breach of Article 18 of the Constitution and international obligations.
We stand in solidarity with all victims and urge the Government to:
1️⃣ Release all detainees or bring them before the court.
2️⃣ Allow families to bury their loved ones.
3️⃣ Permit independent investigations into the killings.
4️⃣ Prosecute those responsible.
5️⃣ Uphold freedom of expression and the media.
6️⃣ Work toward reconciliation and national healing.
7️⃣ Compensate affected families.

Mlisali, mkafunga na mkamwomba Mungu kwa dua na machozi. Maombi yenu yamefika mbinguni. Mnafikiri haya mauaji na mateso ya watoto wenu ndiyo majibu kutoka kwa Mungu? Hapana. Msihofu. Mungu yupo, na bado anafanya kazi yake kwa njia zake.
Kila tone la damu lililomwagika lina thamani mbele zake. Kila kilio, kila pumzi ya mwisho, ni ushahidi wa mateso yasiyo na hatia. Mungu hawezi kupuuza machozi ya waja wake. Atalipa, na kwa wakati wake, haki itatimia.
Msiache kuamini. Jipeni moyo, maana imani ndiyo tumaini letu pekee. Wengi wamekufa, wengi wamepotea, lakini hakuna kinachopotea bure machoni pa Mungu. Siku moja, mtaona kuwa maumivu haya yote hayakuwa ya bure. Siku moja, machozi yatafutwa, na moyo uliojeruhiwa utapata amani. Na hapo mtasema kwa machozi ya furaha “Asante Mungu, kwa sababu ulikuwa nasi hata katika giza.”
Kuna muda nahisi, this is not Tanzania. Madogo wanatazama game la arsenal wote wanapoteza uhai. What happened to humanity?

**THRDC Yashiriki Katika Uzinduzi wa Ripoti Muhimu Kupinga Ukatili kwa Watoto Viziwi Dar es Salaam**
Dar es Salaam, 30 Juni 2024 – Mtandao wa Watetezi wa Haki za Binadamu Tanzania (THRDC) umeonyesha dhamira yake thabiti ya kulinda haki za watoto wenye ulemavu kwa kushiriki kikamilifu katika uzinduzi wa ripoti muhimu inayoangazia ukatili dhidi ya watoto viziwi. Uzinduzi huu, uliofanyika tarehe 29 Juni 2024 katika ukumbi wa Lion Hotel, uliandaliwa na Furaha ya Wanawake Wajasiriamali kwa Viziwi Tanzania (FUWAVITA).
Ripoti hii inatoa mwanga juu ya hali halisi ya ukatili unaowakabili watoto viziwi nchini Tanzania na inatoa mapendekezo muhimu kuhusu hatua zinazopaswa kuchukuliwa ili kupunguza na hatimaye kumaliza kabisa ukatili huu. THRDC, kupitia mwakilishi wake kutoka dawati la watetezi wenye ulemavu, Bw. Emmanuel Majeshi, alitoa pongezi kwa FUWAVITA kwa kazi yao kubwa katika kuandaa ripoti hii, ambayo inaashiria hatua muhimu katika kulinda haki na ustawi wa watoto viziwi nchini.
Mbali na kushiriki katika uzinduzi, THRDC pia iliwasilisha salamu za Mratibu wa Taifa wa Mtandao, ikisisitiza umuhimu wa ushirikiano kati ya mashirika mbalimbali katika kulinda haki za watoto wenye ulemavu. Ripoti hii inatarajiwa kuwa nyenzo muhimu kwa serikali, Asasi za Kiraia, na wadau wengine katika kuunda mikakati madhubuti ya kukabiliana na ukatili dhidi ya watoto viziwi.
