FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND DEMOCRATIC SPACE

On March 23rd, 2023, TAMCODE attended a dialogue on the state of freedom of expression and democratic space in Tanzania, lessons to improve good governance. The two days session was organized by the LHRC, Tanzania Editors’ Forum  and International Center for Not for Profit Law.  While there, TAMCODE Executive Director called upon the need to amend the Prisons Act of 1967 to ensure that members of the press are allowed to report on prisoners.  This, she said, will help not only to improve the prisons services, but also to unveil stories of prisoners who were wrongly convicted.
