Report Summary

The resolution condemns the violent suppression of post-election protests in Tanzania in 2025, where security forces used lethal force against demonstrators. It demands the immediate release of imprisoned opposition leader Tundu Lissu and clarity on the disappearance of government critic Humphrey Polepole. Politically motivated arrests and intimidation of opposition figures, journalists, and human rights defenders are strongly criticized. The EU is urged to push for independent investigations into human rights violations and the abolition of the death penalty. Long-term support for threatened activists and stronger EU intervention with Tanzanian authorities are called for.
