Taasisi ya Kimataifa ya wanaharakati wa kutetea Waandishi wa Habari(CPJ) yasikitishwa na kauli ya Serikali ya Tanzania kuhusu kukamatwa na kushikiliwa kwa Maafisa wake
Serikali ya Tanzania ilieleza kuwa Wanaharakati hao hawakuwa na vibali vya kuingia nchini kwa ajili ya kufanya kazi bali kwa ajili ya matembezi
Kauli hiyo pia imeungwa mkono na Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje wa Afrika Kusini
CPJ yasema Watumishi wake Angela Quintal(raia wa Afrika Kusini) na Muthoki Mumo(raia wa Kenya) walikuwa na vibali sahihi vya kuingia nchini
=====
New York, November 12, 2018--The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed indignation at statements from Tanzanian authorities and South Africa's foreign minister justifying the detention of CPJ's Africa team in Dar es Salaam on November 7.
Officials from both countries falsely claimed CPJ's Africa program coordinator Angela Quintal and sub-Saharan Africa representative Muthoki Mumo were in Tanzania without proper visas when they were detained and interrogated.
In fact, both were traveling on valid visas, as part of a fact-finding and networking trip to better understand local press freedom conditions.
"Having debriefed with our Africa program coordinator Angela Quintal and sub-Saharan Africa representative Muthoki Mumo about their detention, we are outraged by their treatment at the hands of Tanzanian authorities," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "Both had valid visas, so we have concluded that the intention of Tanzanian authorities was to harass and intimidate our team.
CPJ is also disappointed that, after all South Africa did to assist the team on the ground, its foreign minister would now repeat falsehoods about their detention."
