CPJ launches WhereIsAzory campaign to highlight missing Tanzanian journalist
intends to raise awareness about Mr Gwanda and will call on Tanzanian authorities to carry out a credible investigation and publicly account for his fate. Supporters can participate by sharing the hashtags #WhereIsAzory and #MrudisheniAzory on social media.
“Azory Gwanda is a freelance journalist reporting about his community and he must not become just another statistic,” said Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator. “Through this campaign, we want to ensure that Gwanda’s case becomes a priority for the Tanzanian authorities and that we get much-needed answers about what really happened him. Until that time, Tanzanian journalists will not feel safe.”.
