How Tanzanian Security Forces Used Live Ammunition, Tear Gas And Secret Body Removals To Crush Election Protests – Amnesty International Report Reveals
Amnesty International has accused Tanzanian security forces of using unlawful and excessive lethal force to suppress election-related protests between October 29 and November 3, 2025, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people nationwide. In a damning report released on December 19, Amnesty said police and other security personnel fired live ammunition and tear gas directly at peaceful protesters, bystanders, and even people inside their homes, despite posing no imminent threat. The organisation documented widespread abuses, including beatings of detainees, denial of medical care to the injured, arrest of wounded protesters from hospitals, and the removal of bodies from morgues to unknown locations, allegedly to conceal evidence of unlawful killings. Amnesty also raised concerns over a nationwide internet shutdown that hampered access to information and accountability, while questioning the independence and credibility of a government-appointed commission of inquiry into the killings.
