Tanzania's President Magufuli, Governor Makonda, and Minister Kingwangalla:

We are appalled by the crackdown on gay people in Dar es Salaam and Tanzania, and call on you to urgently protect all people’s rights according to international human rights standards. By violating basic rights you risk losing international support and tourism because a country where gay people cannot live freely is not a safe destination for business or travel.

Tanzania: stop the gay witch-hunt!
We need to move fast -- a leading Tanzanian politician just said he'll unleash a security force dedicated to hunting down gay people.

He's calling on residents to report gay people and says his team will monitor social media and phone to track people down. They already have over 18,000 names -- people are terrified and fleeing their homes.

This is an outrageous attack on human rights -- we can't let it happen. Add your name to this call, then help make it go viral by sharing it everywhere -- Tanzania is heavily reliant on international support, and a truly massive global outcry will demand a response.
