O governo dos Estados Unidos proibiu o oficial da polícia da Tanzânia Faustine Jackson Mafwele de entrar no país devido a alegações de envolvimento em abusos contra ativistas.

O secretário de Estado dos EUA, Marco Rubio, anunciou a proibição em 21 de maio de 2026, sob a Seção 7031(c). Os relatórios ligaram o oficial à detenção ilegal, tortura e abuso sexual dos ativistas Boniface Mwangi e Agather Atuhaire enquanto estavam na Tanzânia em maio de 2025. Os ativistas haviam viajado para Dar es Salaam para acompanhar o julgamento do líder da oposição Tundu Lissu. Eles foram levados de seu hotel, mantidos em cárcere e agredidos antes de serem abandonados perto das fronteiras de seus países. Mwangi foi encontrado vivo em Ukunda em 22 de maio de 2025, após mais de três dias em detenção. Rubio afirmou que a medida proíbe Mafwele de entrar nos Estados Unidos devido a graves violações dos direitos humanos.
