Tanzania | Blocks X Amid Political Repression

Tanzania’s government is cracking down on political dissent by blocking access to X, as reported by HRF grantee Netblocks, an organization dedicated to monitoring Internet freedom worldwide. According to Netblocks, “the incident comes as the police force issues an alert over alleged opposition party plans to raid police stations where political prisoners might be held.” Tanzania has witnessed an unprecedented crackdown from security forces, who have detained hundreds of opposition party members, including the chairman of the Chadema party, Freeman Mbwoe, and his deputy, Tundu Lissu. Other prominent critics, including Deusdedith Soka and Dioniz Kipanya, disappeared, while Shadrack Chaula, a TikToker critical of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, remains missing. These actions undermine democratic processes and escalate the government’s efforts to stifle dissent and control information. FinancialFreedomReport.org
