Joint Submission to the UN Human Rights Council 4th Universal Periodic Review of Tanzania & Factsheet

United Against Torture Consortium (UATC) members, IRCT, FIACAT, Omega, OMCT, and REDRESS, together with Change Africa Trust, the Center for Strategic Litigation, and the Pan African Lawyers Union, have made a joint submission as part of the 4th Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Tanzania. The submission exposes the scale and nature of a continued pattern of serious violations, including torture and other ill‑treatment, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detention, and a crackdown on freedoms of expression, assembly, digital rights, and access to information in Tanzania. It also sets out targeted recommendations to address key gaps in protection and accountability.
