A group of Tanzanians living in the Netherlands took to the streets outside the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to demand justice over recent killings in Tanzania. The protesters, who are seeking accountability for the crimes against humanity, called on the ICC to take action against Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu.
The protesters noted that the Tanzanian government is responsible for the deaths of innocent citizens, and that President Samia must be held accountable for the atrocities.
During the election day on 29th November and the post-election period, several people, mostly young people, were brutally shot by police.
According to the opposition party Chadema, more than 1000 people were killed by police.
The protesters’ demands for justice and accountability have sparked a renewed debate about human rights in Tanzania. The country’s government has faced criticism in recent years over its handling of opposition and dissent, with many accusing the administration of cracking down on freedom of speech and assembly.
The ICC, which is responsible for prosecuting international crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, has been urged to take action over the alleged atrocities in Tanzania. The protesters hope that the ICC will investigate the killings and bring those responsible to justice.
The protest highlights the growing concerns about human rights abuses in Tanzania and the need for accountability. As the international community continues to grapple with the issue, one thing is clear: the people of Tanzania are demanding justice and accountability, and they will not be silenced.
