THE CIVIC UNITED FRONT

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES COMMITTED BY TANZANIAN ARMED FORCES IN ZANZIBAR SINCE JANUARY 26[SUP]TH[/SUP], 2001​

[h=4] [/h]

7[SUP]th[/SUP] February , 2001​

Massacres in Zanzibar
Tanzanian police, riot police, army, navy (KMKM), secret police and other security forces have, since January 26[SUP]th[/SUP] 2001, engaged in a coordinated program to place Zanzibar under military rule and to inflict massive human rights violations on its people. Benjamin Mkapa should be held responsible in the eyes of the world for approving the use of live ammunition to kill dozens of peaceful demonstrators, and for the subsequent campaign of terror to punish Zanzibaris for daring to stand up for the principles of political pluralism and freedom of assembly. Armed forces have injured hundreds of people, shooting them in their homes, sinking boats carrying injured refugees, raping, and looting. We hope that all perpetrators of these atrocities will be brought to justice, both those who committed crimes and those who ordered them.

This report is a preliminary summary of available information from eye-witness accounts by refugees and other sources. Almost all of our leaders have been arrested, are in hiding, or have disappeared. Collecting information on human-rights abuses is very dangerous because our telephone calls are monitored, we are searched when we travel, and we are under surveillance by secret police and CCM officials. The government is attempting to cover-up and hide their actions, but the truth will be known. We are compiling these lists of victims in order to help their families and friends to know what happened to them. But we also hope that knowledge of the Tanzanian state’s persecution of its citizens will lead Tanzanians and others to insist on the need to safeguard democracy and basic human rights. Please contact CUF if you have any information about the whereabouts or conditions of our fellow countrymen.

Starting from today, 7[SUP]th[/SUP] Feb. 2001, daily updates of news and events will be circulated throughout the world. If you would like to know what is really going on, without censorship by the government, please contact cuftz@hotmail.com


Note: These figures are very preliminary and incomplete. It will take a long time for the world to be able to have complete figures and information about the massacres and other human rights abuses committed in Zanzibar by government armed forces. Up to now, people are still being tortured, humiliated, intimidated, killed, etc.

Reports of Human Rights Abuses by Police and Security Forces, by District and Date

District	Date of events	Details of the events
Mkoani Pemba	27[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(1) Many Riot Police and other security forces from mainland Tanzania & Zanzibar were observed on the main road coming from the Harbour. (2) No food available in town, as all people are locked inside their homes. Mkoani town is virtually under curfew.
28[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(3) So far 18 severely injured people have been admitted to the Mkoani Hospital. Among the 18, 4 are in serious condition, including: (i) Ms. Tamasha Abdi Sheria of Utaani, Wete, who was shot by police, the bullet went through her buttocks and through her private parts. (ii) Mr. Bakar Salum, shot by the police, the bullet went through his thigh and also damaged part of his urinary bladder. As a result, he has no control of his urine. (4)Three other severely injured patients were brought in and admitted at Mkoani Referral hospital from Chake Chake and Wete, making the total number of seriously injured people to be 22. The four new patients are: (i) Mr. Omar Hafidh , from Wete, whose leg was smashed by a bullet. (ii) Mr. Mussa Ali Hamad of Chasasa, Wete, is still in serious condition because of a bullet that penetrated his chest under his breast, got him so bad that he is still bleeding continuously and doctors have already instructed his relatives to refer him to Muhimbili Hospital in Dar-es-Salaam. (iii) Hidaya Salim Habib (teenager) from Wete who was shot in the shoulder when she was inside her home. (iv) Yahya Hamad of Chake Chake, who was shot by police in the upper abdomen.
29[SUP]th[/SUP]Jan. 2001	(5)On the night of 29[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001, all the 22 severely injured patients were forcefully interrogated and made to write and sign statements, against their will and in the absence of their lawyers. The moment they finished signing those forced statements, police told them that they were all under arrest. The police remained inside the wards carrying their weapons, the action that prompted protest from the Chinese doctors who ordered the police out of the wards. Still determined to continue with their humiliation and psychological torture to the patients, police decided to take guard, fully armed, around the ward. Since then, police have been demanding doctors to release the sick people so that the police could arrest them, prosecute them and take them to jail.
30[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(6)On 30[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001, Mr. Moh’d Salim (alias Mulla) together with Mr. Masoud Khamis Omar (alias Meya) and Mr. Moh’d Adam were severely beaten-up by riot police while sitting on the verandah talking. While Mr. Meya and Mr. Moh'd Adam managed to escape after being beaten-up for some time, Mr. Mulla could not make it and he was immediately arrested. He was eventually released late in the evening but ordered to report back to the police the next day (31[SUP]st[/SUP] Jan 2001) along with the other two who had escaped police brutality. (7)On the same day, 30[SUP]th[/SUP] 2001, police forcefully cut off the beard of Mr.Moh’d Ali Moh’d at Kipitacho area using a knife. (8)Another incident involved Mr. Imu who was spared of humiliation but ordered not to be seen with beard the next day, otherwise he could be punished. (9)On this day, 30[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan. 2001, police ordered the muadhin, the person responsible for the call-to-prayer at the mosque, not to make a prayer-call for the evening (Isha) prayer, (usually made soon after 8 p.m.), otherwise they would ‘fix him’. Not only was he told not to make the prayer-call, but he was also warned that if anyone was caught saying prayers in the mosque after 7 p.m., he (muadhin) would also be arrested and punished. This order put off every Muslim from going to Isha prayer as going there could mean risking the life of the muadhin. (10)On this date, 30[SUP]th[/SUP] January, 2001, a convoy of riot police officers in full riot, gear arrested and dragged away two patients, Ms. Khadija Ali Juma of Chake Chake, and Mr. Ali Michael Babedi, from Mkoani Referral Hospital.
Chake Chake Pemba	27[SUP]th[/SUP] to 29[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(1)After beating-up and killing people with live bullets on the streets, Police and other Security forces engaged in breaking into people’s houses, severely beating up the occupants with police clubs and rifle-butts, raping women in some cases, smashing wardrobes and jewelry chests and finally looting jewelery, cash money, radios, TVs and other valuables. Most of the stolen jewelery is that which had been traditionally inherited from their ancestors generation after generation. Thus it is irreplaceable. In the course of looting, police were saying loudly, “You Pembans have no discipline as you had not witnessed revolution violence and hence we have come here to show you Pembans the real revolution”. Some of the houses that were looted of valuables were those of the following people: (i) Mr. Juma Ngwali, at Machomane (ii) Ms. Sharifa Mussa (Mrs.Marshed), at Mkanjuni (3) Mr. Suleiman Seif, at Mabatini (iii)Mr. Suleiman Seif, at mabatini (iv) Ms. Lulu (300,000 TShs were stolen) (v) Mr. Rashid Seif (2) The number of missing people is more than 40 for Chake Chake alone, and most of them are assumed dead.
Wete, Pemba	27[SUP]th[/SUP] to 29[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(1)On 27[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001, there were 9 bodies in the mortuary of the Wete Hospital, 4 bodies inside the Limbani CUF branch, and 2 bodies inside the Mtemani branch. (2)Mr. Salim (alias Fundi Salim) , who was accused of having washed the body of a family member who had been shot dead by Police earlier the same day, was arrested by Police at Chasasa, tortured and killed and then his body was dumped at the mortuary of the Wete Hospital. His death was instigated by the local CCM representative, the Sheha (local Headman), Mr. Ali Hamad (alias Mpemba Mwekundu) who had earlier asked police officers to punish him for washing and preparing (for burial) the body of a CUF member. (3)Police officers were harassing injured patients inside Wete hospital wards to finish them-up, as they were heard boasting about. This Police man-handling forced many bullet-injured patients to seek refuge in forests and it is feared that many might have died of these bullet wounds. (4)Those injured were barred by Police from being treated in Government Hospitals. In one incident, Riot Police officers stopped an ambulance and ordered the doctors to take out all patients, who were being transferred to Mkoani Hospital with severe injuries. When these police officers were asked why the patients should be unloaded while in such critical condition, they publicly said that they wanted to kill them. Fortunately, the doctors refused and told the police officers that they (doctors) would rather die than hand over those patients to the police officers. (5)It is reported that two boats carrying injured refugees were sunk by police or navy, and all the passengers drowned. Passengers in a third boat witnessed the sinking caused by a police helicopter and reported it when they arrived in Mombasa. The sunk boats are estimated to have been carrying more than 50 people. (6)At Mtambwe (Uchozini) many people were shot dead by Police and Navy officers as they were fleeing for their safety from the demonstration scene. Many dead bodies there, and of those who died in forests in different parts of Pemba have not been collected for burial as people are not allowed to go out of their houses, and this could trigger an outbreak of cholera and other diseases. (7)Somebody (name withheld) witnessed a 60-year old man sitting at his home being shot at by police. (8) Somebody (name withheld) witnessed a woman who was cooking in her home’s kitchen being shot by police. (9) Medical supplies in Pemba have been depleted. (10)More than 30 shops have been broken into and looted of stock in Wete, including that of Mr. Masoud Ali Hamad. (11)Humiliation and sufferings continues in Pemba, especially in Wete and Mkoani. People are still harassed and tortured. (12) Ambulances are the only vehicles allowed on the road, and they are always followed by heavily-armed riot-police cars in Wete.
30[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 2001	(1) Road blocks between Chake Chake and Wete towns are still in place, all cars and passengers are searched and all knives found with passengers are confiscated. (Note: Pembans take with them knives as tools rather than weapons). Many passengers are harassed and humiliated. (2) In Mtambwe area, 3 bodies have been found. (3) A soldier by the name Ali Makame (alias Kijeshi) seconded to the office of the Regional Commissinor for Pemba North region, dared to rape the wife of another soldier (name withheld). It is suspected that the act was commited with the purpose of making the victim's husband believe that his wife was raped by his neighbours so that he could retaliate and harm and even kill the innocent neighbours. (4)Police officers also looted food stuff, as much as they could carry at the Wete Market, and then they sprayed salt on the remaining food stuff which they could not carry on their lorries, so that the owners of would not be able to sell the commodities to any customers. (5) Mr. Ali Moh’d Juma (alias Ali Zungu) of Hodhi la Ng’ombe was arrested after all his vehicles had been smashed and destroyed by police. (iii) Mr. Nassor, a seriously injured victim of police brutality shown groaning on ITV (a TV station in dar es salaam), is yet to be taken to hospital for treatment as the police still hold him at the Wete Police station.

HATIMAYE ASASI MOJAWAPO YA KUTETEA HAKI ZA BINADAMU NCHINI YAHIARI KUTEKELEZA WAJIBU WAKE KWA KUWEKA MADHILA YA WATANZANIA KATIKA KUMBUKUMBU (YATOA RIPOTI MURUA) YA KUDUMU

Hakika huu ni mwanzo mpya na ni changamoto kubwa kwa asasi za kiraia zinazojishughulisha na masuala yahusuyo HAKI ZA BINADAMU ndani ya mpaka wa taifa letu.

Kwa mfano huu bora na wa kipekee walioonyesha wenye taasisi hii ya HAKI ZA BINADAMU humu, ni matarajio yetu kwamba vikundi mbali mbali navyo havitosita kutekeleza wajibu wao ipasavyo. Kamwe haipatikani mantiki yoyote kuona kila mara wananchi tukilalamika KUNYIMWA HAKI ZETU ZA MSINGI na hii serikali dhalimu na hapohapo watu tuwe tukishuhudia ASASI ZA KIRAIA NA ZILE ZINAZOTETEA HAKI ZA BINADAMU NAO WAKILALAMIKA, TUKIO BAADA YA TUKIO LENYE SURA ZA KUSIKITISHA MNO NCHINI KISHA HURUDI KUKAA KIMYA TU SAWA NA SISI HUKU USWAHILINI!!!!!!!!!!!

Ki-ukweli, tafsiri nyepesi hadi hapo ni sahihi kudai kwamba taasisi mbali mbali za haki za binadamu nchini, kwa misingi ya ukimya wao na kutokuandikia ripoti iliokwenda shule kama hiyo hapo juu, kwetu sisi wananchi tunavyotafsiri vitendo vyenu hivi ni ama asasi hizi (1) hazipo tena nchini, (2) zipo lakini hazitambui wajibu wao kwa umma wa Tanzania zaidi ya kuzoa fedha za wafadhili na kuendelea kufanya kazi ndani ya brif-case.

Naam, kabla ya kuona ripoti hiyo hapo juu, wananchi tulio wengi tumekua tukichukulia asasi zenye jukumu la kutetea haki za binadamu nchini (3) zipo tu ushahidi kama picha ukutani lakini zimejichagulia kuwa wasaliti wa umma wa Tanzania na hata wakati mwingine kuonekana na kuhisiwa kufanyia udalali minyanyaso na damu ya sisi WaTanzania wenzao au pengine ndio tuseme ya kwamba (4) asasi zote nchini viongozi wao wa juu ni MA-KADA WA CHAMA TAWALA hivyo kazi yao namba moja ni kuficha kila tukio la ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu zisionekane popote.

Mpaka hapo WaTanzania lazima tuanze kumhoji Ndugu yetu John Ulanga kwamba anaweza kujitetea vipi juu ya sura hii mbaya na kwamba je taasisi yake kweli imafanya vya kutosha kujengea asasi za haki za binadamu nchini uwezo madhubuti wanaouhitaji ili kutekeleza wajibu wao ipasavyo kwetu sisi umma wa nchi hii bila kusubiri kubembelezwa????

Mwisho, lazima watu tukumbushane hapa kwamba kuandika ripoti njema na iliokwenda shule kama hii hapa juu ni jambo moja, lakini muhimu zaidi na jambo lingine ni jinsi gani tasisi husika itakavyoweza kuisambaza zaidi na zaidi kwa wadau wa haki za binadamu nchini ili wao sasa waweze kupata marejesho juu ya ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu nchini, uelewa juu ya nani amehusika na kumdhuru nani wapi na wakati gani na mwisho kuweza kutumia taarifa hizo nyeti na muhimu sana kutafutia waadhiriwa na ndugu za haki wakati wowote katika historia au kufanya taarifa hizo kuwa ni msingi wa mikakati ya kuzuia ukiukwaji tajwa kutokutokea tena.

Mpaka hapa ni kwamba taasisi hii hapa juu imeonekana kuvunja mwiko uliozoeleka nchini kunyamazia na hata kuficha matukio yote ya ukiukwaji wa haki za bindamu, sasa kinachofuata ni kwamba sasa watu tunasubiri kuona nao waandishi wa habari na wanasheria mbalimbali nchini watakavyoweza kutumia taarifa hizi nyeti kuleta tija zaidi kwa raia kwa ujumla wetu dhidi ya unyama tunaoendelea kutendewa hasa na jeshi la polisi, jeshi la Siri la CCM (The Greenguard chini ya Nape na Mwigulu) na mahuzunisho mengine mengi yanayofanania hivo.
