The United States has sanctioned Tanzania’s police chief over allegations of “torture and sexual assault” of two human rights activists last year. He is barred from entering the US. Washington’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said there was “credible information” linking Faustine Jackson Mafwele to gross human rights violations.
Kenyan Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan Agather Atuhaire travelled to Tanzania in May last year in solidarity with detained opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who is facing a treason trial and a potential death sentence. But the two activists were themselves detained and both claim they were tortured and sexually assaulted.
