The Campaign To Defend Rights Of Detainees And Against Abduction

Due to the fact that three activists of Hizb ut Tahrir / Tanzania (Ust. Ramadhan Moshi Kakoso, Wazir Suleiman Mkaliaganda and Omar Salum Bumbo) are being held without trial or bail for more than two years, the same circumstances being encountered include other detainees among Muslims scholars of the Uamsho organization who are also being held for more than seven years now, plus many other detainees (Muslims and non-Muslims) victimised with the similar fate, Hizb ut Tahrir / Tanzania would like to announce the launching of a special campaign defending their rights.

The campaign will officially commence on 19 June 2020 to 24 July 2020 having the following aspects:
