Dar es Salaam. Tanzania has dismissed a report by Amnesty International accusing Tanzanian authorities of human rights violations and political repression ahead of the 2025 General Election, describing the allegations as “unsubstantiated and misleading.”
On October 20, 2025, Amnesty International released a report titled “Unopposed, Unchecked, Unjust: ‘Wave of Terror’ Sweeps Tanzania Ahead of 2025 Vote,” claiming that authorities had created a climate of fear by intensifying crackdowns on opposition politicians, journalists, civil society groups and human rights defenders.
