Tanzania: authorities threaten mass arrests of people suspected of same-sex conduct
In 2023, Tanzanian authorities threatened mass arrests of people suspected of same-sex conduct, contributing to an increase in hate speech against LGBTI+ individuals. The government also continued to suppress dissent, with arbitrary arrests of critics and opposition figures. A court ruling in August 2023 overturned an eviction order affecting 21,000 people near Ruaha National Park, and in September, the High Court declared the creation of the Pololeti Game Controlled Area unlawful, halting the forced eviction of Maasai communities.
