The two traveled to the country in May to attend the trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu in the capital, Dar es Salaam. The allegations come as Tanzania cracks down on dissent ahead of an <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2025\/01\/02\/top-world-elections-2025-canada-germany-ecuador-australia-poland-bolivia\/\">October general election<\/a>, in which Lissu hopes to run.

Following their detention, the activists said that officials dumped them near their countries\u2019 borders with the country.<\/p>\n<p>Atuhaire said that she was stripped, raped, and smeared with excrement.

He was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/africa\/tanzania-opposition-party-says-its-leader-has-been-moved-different-prison-2025-04-19\/\">arrested<\/a> in April after calling for Tanzanians to boycott the October vote; he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c793qd2x7yzo\">argued<\/a> that the elections could not be free or fair as long as Samia directly appoints members of Tanzania\u2019s National Electoral Commission.
