Tanzania Daima ban adds to press freedom concerns
|
[Al Jazeera] A 90-day ban on a popular Swahili daily in Tanzania - the fourth newspaper to be shut down since June - has prompted concern over press freedom in the East African country.
Journalists and activists urged President John Magufuli on Wednesday to overturn the ban on the Tanzania Daima newspaper, and accused him of undermining the country's democracy by muzzling the media.
The call came a day after the opposition-leaning paper, which has a daily circulation of 30,000, was shut down for three-months. Authorities accused it of continuously spreading "false information" after it published an incorrect claim about the number of Tanzanians taking anti-retroviral drugs used to treat HIV.
