To President Suluhu of Tanzania and all world leaders:

As citizens from across the world, we call on President Suluhu to immediately stop the bloodshed, release all political prisoners and disappeared, and launch an investigation into the crimes committed by police forces.

We call on world leaders to take every action possible – including canceling aid and restricting funding – to ensure the political violence ends, justice is served, the unjustly imprisoned are freed, and Tanzanian democracy continues.

Tanzania: Stop the Bloodshed — Free the Prisoners Now!
Mama Kassim hasn’t seen her 21-year-old son since election day – she thinks he might be dead.

And if the world doesn't act, she might never find out what happened to him. The Tanzanian government is trying to hide its alleged crimes – cutting the internet, threatening anyone who shares evidence, and reportedly burying victims in secret.

But the truth is breaking through – horrific images of young people shot in the streets are spreading, brave mothers like Mama Kassim are speaking out, and some of Tanzania’s most important allies have condemned the killings.

Now let’s tear this cover-up wide open and make sure leaders push to free detainees by freezing financial aid, suspending military cooperation, and supporting an independent probe into the bloodshed. Join the global push for justice in Tanzania:
