About 700 people have been killed during three days of election protests in Tanzania, the main opposition party said yesterday.

Protests erupted on Wednesday against what demonstrators said was the stifling of the opposition owing to the exclusion of key candidates from the presidential ballot.

John Kitoka, a spokesperson for the opposition Chadema party, said hundreds of people had been killed since then. “As we speak, the figure for deaths in Dar [es Salaam] is around 350 and for Mwanza it is 200-plus. Added to figures from other places around the country, the overall figure is around 700,” he said.

He added that the toll could be much higher because killings could be happening during a nighttime curfew imposed from Wednesday.

A security source said there had been reports of more than 500 dead, “maybe 700-800 in the whole country”.

Amnesty International said it had received information that at least 100 people had been killed.
