Tanzania responds to EU Parliament resolution: Let judiciary operate independently

Dar es Salaam. The Government of Tanzania has expressed concern over a resolution passed by the European Parliament on May 8, 2025, concerning ongoing legal proceedings in the country, calling the decision one-sided and made without prior diplomatic engagement.

In a strongly worded statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, the government reiterated that Tanzania upholds the independence of its Judiciary and will not entertain external pressure that undermines this constitutional principle.
