agreement with the EU Heads of Mission in Tanzania
The EU Delegation condemns all recent acts of violence against
religious leaders, and most recently the murder of Fr. Evarist Mushi
on Sunday 17 February in Zanzibar. The EU Delegation offers its
condolences to their families and all the
religious communities who have been affected by recent acts of
violence. The EU Delegation calls upon the authorities to undertake a
full investigation into the killing of the Catholic priest and to
continue their investigations into previous attacks on Muslim and
Christian leaders and bring those responsible to account.
Freedom of religion or belief is a universal human right which needs
to be protected everywhere and for everyone. Religious tolerance and
peaceful co-existence have been a hallmark of Tanzanian society. The
EU urges religious communities to make every effort to refrain from
violence and to keep up the spirit of tolerance and respect of other
people's beliefs and to resolve any differences through dialogue.
The EU Delegation calls upon the Government of Tanzania and the
Government of Zanzibar and all stakeholders to support a process of
open dialogue between Muslim and Christian communities, to take all
necessary measures in order to prevent further incidents and to act
against those who seek to spark violence, with full respect for
international human rights norms.
The Embassies of Norway and Switzerland associate themselves with this
statement.
