As an American constitutional lawyer, I have personally litigated cases defending the rights to free expression and due process. These are fundamental principles of human liberty. For that reason, I am closely following the outcome of Tundu Lissu’s trial proceedings, and the broader implications for the rule of law.

Tanzania: Former Ambassador Humphrey Polepole Abducted and Disappeared From His Home
Former ambassador Humphrey Polepole was abducted at his home in Dar es Salaam on 6 October 2025.
He has not been seen since. Humphrey appears to have been targeted because of his criticism of the president and ruling party for restrictions on civic space, the crackdown on human rights and attacks on opposition members. His family miss him dearly and need answers.
No one should be disappeared for criticizing the government.
Join us in calling on the Tanzanian authorities to immediately disclose Humphrey’s fate and whereabouts.

Yesterday, we moved the court to require the Inspector General of Police to appear in person and account for the disappearance of Tanzanian activist Twaha Salim Mwaipaya.
The court granted our application, and today, the IG appeared before the court.
While he denied that Twaha was in police custody, that cannot be the end of the matter.
We must establish Twaha’s whereabouts, ensure his safety and hold those responsible accountable.
We will not relent in the pursuit of truth and justice. Aluta continua! The struggle continues.

On Oct. 25, masked men in plain clothes aboard three vehicles blocked the taxi Mwaipaya was traveling in Kamulu, on the eastern edge of Nairobi. Witnesses say the assailants dragged him away and forced him into one of the vehicle. thechanzo.com/2026/10/26/tan…

HRF condemns the Oct. 25 abduction of exiled Tanzanian opposition activist Twaha Salim Mwaipaya, which adds to a concerning pattern of transnational repression against dissident refugees in Kenya. HRF calls on Kenyan officials to establish his whereabouts, produce him before a court, and guarantee that he has not been forcibly removed to Tanzania. #FreeTwahaMwaipaya

Toujours aucune nouvelle de l’opposant tanzanien Twaha Mwaipaya, enlevé le 25 octobre à Nairobi au Kenya. Lundi 2 novembre 2026, l’inspecteur général de la police, Douglas Kanja, et le patron de la direction des affaires criminelles, Mohamed Amin, étaient convoqués par la Haute Cour de Nairobi où une plainte a été déposée par l’organisation de la société civile Vocal Africa. Elle soupçonne la police kényane d’être l’auteure de l’enlèvement. go.rfi.fr/JCX

Tupatane Milimani law courts tomorrow at 11 am.
We have to go back to showing up for each other 😭
🚨 MEDIA INVITE | WHERE IS TWAHA MWAIPAYA?!
The High Court has issued urgent orders requiring senior Kenyan police authorities to produce abducted Tanzanian human rights defender Twaha Mwaipaya — alive or dead — and answer questions concerning his arrest and detention.
His whereabouts remain unknown, and every passing day without answers raises grave concerns for his life and safety.
We invite all journalists and media partners to cover tomorrow’s critical court hearing, where senior police officials and other respondents have been called upon to account before the Court.
✨Thank you for your solidarity.✨

#Tanzania: UN experts concerned that 1-year after post-election violence, victims still await publication of findings from Commission of Inquiry. “We condemn patterns of repression against civil society organisations, journalists & #humanrights defenders.”

Today, the U.S. Embassy community joined me to honor the memory of all those who lost their lives in the violence surrounding Tanzania’s October 2025 general elections. We remember them, and the families who still grieve and seek answers. As I said to the U.S. Senate during my confirmation hearing, this will not be swept under the rug.
