Tanzania detains freelance reporter Erick Kabendera (pictured) for more than three weeks on economic crimes charges that CPJ believes are in retaliation for critical coverage of President John Magufuli's government. The government fails to account for the whereabouts of freelance journalist Azory Gwanda, who went missing in 2017. Press freedom has deteriorated in Magufuli's Tanzania, as authorities use suspensions, restrictive legislation, and intimidation to muzzle journalists. CPJ writes to the heads of state of the Southern African Development Community to draw attention to the decline of press freedom in Tanzania. (Photo: Jamii Forums)
