Tanzania's Foreign Policy Launch Highlights Opportunities for North American Trade, Innovation, and Diaspora Engagement
- On May 19, 2025, Tanzanian authorities detained activists Boniface Mwangi from Kenya and Ugandan lawyer Agather Atuhaire in Dar es Salaam as they tried to attend the court hearing of opposition figure Tundu Lissu.
- Their arrests followed charges of treason against Lissu, with growing tensions prompting President Samia Suluhu to accuse foreign activists of trying to infiltrate Tanzanian state institutions.
- Mwangi was deported to Kenya on May 22 after reports of torture, visible bruises, and medical treatment, while Atuhaire condemned their mistreatment as violations of national and international rights.
- Former Chief Justice David Maraga and international bodies called for democratic space and condemned criminalizing dissent, with the US government urging a full investigation into the alleged abuses.
- The incident intensified East African diplomatic strains and highlighted concerns about constrained civic freedoms ahead of October 2025 Tanzanian elections.
