Stop torture in Tanzania

To Tanzania's global partners:

As citizens from across the world, we are deeply alarmed by the human rights violations being perpetrated by Tanzanian security forces. We call on you to immediately:
  • Condemn abuse and demand independent investigations;
  • Suspend financial support until credible safeguards are in place;
  • Tie all future aid to enforceable human rights standards.

Stop torture in Tanzania
If you speak out against the Government in Tanzania today, you risk your life.

Dozens of people, including human rights activists like Boniface and Agather pictured here, have been beaten or raped just for speaking out in recent weeks. Yet millions of dollars of international aid continue to be given to Tanzania’s Government – even while it beats its opponents into submission, maintaining its grip on power.

Avaaz is breaking open the silence – join us in calling on Tanzania’s aid donors to freeze their funding, until the torture stops! Add your name now.
