A petition that seeks indictment of Tanzania's dictatorial leader, and members of her government and security machinery, over the horrific massacre of young election protesters and other people during and after the recent sham general elections in the country, has been filed with the International Criminal Court (ICC). That was reported by some media on November 26, 2025.
According to the reports, the petition was filed with the ICC by Attorney Juan Carlos-Gutierrez of Madrid Bar Association on behalf of the victims of the crimes against humanity linked to Tanzania's general elections that were held on October 29, 2025. The petition is said to have been filed with the ICC on November 13, 2025, but made public on November 25, 2025.
In the damning petition that reportedly consists of 82-page dossier, Tanzania's dictatorial leader who grabbed a second presidential term through openly and brutally rigging the presidential poll of the country's general elections, is accused of authorizing, among others, the following:
Security forces to carry out mass killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and sexual violence, among others
Use of widespread internet blackout to conceal mass killings and suppress information
Notwithstanding the foregoing, despite the obvious rigging of the general elections and massacre by security forces of thousands of election protesters and other people who were objecting the electoral fraud, the dictatorial leader is said to have moved on as if she has done nothing wrong at all. As such, she is said to have maintained the political status quo by quickly picking a new Speaker of the Parliament, and announcing a new cabinet consisting of loyalists, her daughter, relatives, her friend's children, among others, instead of doing the right and descent thing of relinquishing power and paving the way for the creation of appropriate political conditions in Tanzania for new free and fair general elections.
As things stand right now in the country, the dictatorial leader and her government seemingly believe strongly that they can get away with the unprecedented mass killing of their own citizens and dumping them at some places as if they were not human beings. They seem to think that Tanzanians will just forget about it, cooperate, and allow them to rule just like before! If Tanzanians can not do anything about this, it is because they are probably still too scared of the brutal regime, and this is why the ICC and others in the world need to come in and help them. The regime has made majority of Tanzanians to be among the most miserable human beings in the world, through what we would like to call chronic "national domestic violence" unleashed in numerous guises. There is absolutely no rationale whatsoever for mass killing of citizens by a government. That should be understood very clearly by everybody. So the world should not listen to evil and silly arguments by the authoritarian regime of Tanzania that attempt to justify what happened there during and after the country's sham General Elections 2025.
