Tanzania Police dismiss abuse claims by activist Boniface Mwangi & Agather Atuhaire

Dar es Salaam’s Police Commander, Jummane Muliro, has flatly dismissed allegations from Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire, who claim they were tortured by Tanzanian police after detention by immigration officials. Muliro insists the activists should have reported any abuse through official channels, branding their claims as mere personal opinions. Meanwhile, Tanzania’s Ministry of Communication has defended its recent restriction of the social media platform X, citing protection of citizens from obscene content.
