​Tanzania: UN Human Rights Chief Demands Investigation into Post-Election Violence and Killings
​The international community is demanding answers following the deadly protests surrounding Tanzania's recent elections. UN Human Rights High Commissioner Volker Türk has issued a strong statement urging the Tanzanian authorities to conduct a full, transparent, and independent investigation into the grave allegations of human rights violations.
​Reports received by the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) suggest hundreds of protesters and citizens were killed and an unknown number injured or detained after the October 29th vote.
​Key Concerns Highlighted by the UN:
​Mass Killings and Excessive Force: Security forces allegedly used lethal force against demonstrators.
​Disappearances: Harrowing reports of families unable to find missing loved ones.
​Concealment of Evidence: Disturbing claims that security forces removed bodies from streets and hospitals and took them to undisclosed locations.
​Arbitrary Arrests: Over 150 people, including opposition figures and children, have reportedly been arrested and charged with offenses like treason.
​Volker Türk’s direct call: "I strongly urge the Tanzanian authorities to provide information about the fate and whereabouts of all those missing, and to hand over the bodies of those killed to their loved ones so that they can be given dignified burials.”
