Dear President,
I am writing You as a person who is concerned with the respect of Human Rights, therefore I like to express my great concern about the situation of
HUMPHREY POLEPOLE
I am deeply concerned about the enforced disappearance of Humphrey Polepole, a former Tanzanian ambassador to Cuba and outspoken critic of the Tanzanian government .
On 6 October 2025, Humphrey Polepole was abducted from his home in Dar es Salaam by unidentified security agents. Responding to an alert that his home had been broken into, his family found the front door broken, perimeter electrical wires cut, and a significant amount of blood at the scene. Reportedly, unidentified security forces were seen blocking the road leading to his house on the day he disappeared. To date, the whereabouts of Humphrey Polepole remain unknown.
I urge You to disclose his fate, release Humphrey Polepole if in custody, and end the use of enforced disappearances and repression against peaceful critics.
Thank you for Your attention in this very important matter, I am looking forward to Your reply and positive news about Humphrey Polepole.
Yours sincerely and respectfully,
