<p>Over recent years, we have noted a shrinking of public space in Tanzania through
increased restrictions on the activities of civil society organisations, political
parties and the media. Respect for human rights and the rule of law have been repeatedly
undermined. We have made our concerns about this known to the Government of Tanzania
at both Ministerial and official level. The UK is fully committed to the promotion
of media freedom and the protection of journalists. The Foreign Secretary announced
on 31 October 2018 the launch of an international campaign on media freedom and that
the UK will host an International Conference aimed at promoting the value and benefits
of a free media and to mobilise an international consensus on the protection of journalists
as the guardians of our freedoms.</p>
