UN DEMANDS INVESTIGATION INTO KILLINGS LINKED TO TANZANIA’S OCTOBER 29 ELECTIONS
UN Human Rights office has called on Tanzanian authorities to investigate reports of killings and disappearances following the October 29 elections.
According to the statement released on Tuesday, 11 November 2025, UN sources allege that hundreds of protesters and civilians were killed following Tanzania’s October 29 elections, with many more injured or detained.
The UN Human Rights Office Chief, Volker Türk, says they received information from various sources inside Tanzania, but has been unable to independently verify the figures due to volatile security conditions and an Internet shutdown that followed the vote.
Türk described families searching for missing loved ones as “harrowing” and urged the government to disclose the whereabouts of the missing and return bodies for burial.
He also condemned reports of security forces allegedly removing bodies to undisclosed locations in an apparent effort to conceal evidence.
