Participants were sensitised on the structure of the Luanda Guidelines, which were made available for the training in Swahili by the ICRC. A short video on the causes and consequences of prolonged pre-trial detention, was screened, and was followed by a discussion on the extent to which the challenges identified by the ACHPR are reflected in the Tanzanian context. Module 2: What are human rights? How do they apply to policing? Louise Edwards (APCOF) led participants through a discussion on the normative framework for human rights in Africa, as developed by the ACHPR, and how it applies to law enforcement work. Participants were introduced to the Luanda Guidelines structure and content, and asked to compare the challenges identified by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights in relation to a rights-based approach to arrest and detention across Africa to the situation in Tanzania. Module 3: Detention Sean Tait (APCOF) provided participants with information on the detention continuum, which begins at stop and search, and the extent to which the framework for arrest and detention in Tanzania complies with the requirements of the Luanda Guidelines.
