Consequently, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) rewards journalists who stand their grounds in these harsh environments. Among the recipients of the 2019 International Press Freedom Award is Tanzanian journalist, Maxence Melo Mubyazi. The award ceremony will hold in New York City on 21st November 2019.\n\nMaxence Melo Mubyazi made the list for the website he co-founded, Jamii Forums<\/a>. The platform is an independent website for Central and East Africans to discuss critical issues. Consequently, whistleblowers use the platform to promote transparency and accountability in Tanzania.

It is important that both journalists and activists in this country stick to their professional codes.

The endless battles of Maxence Melo Mubyazi<\/h2>\nLike many journalists, Mr. Maxence Melo Mubyazi\u2019s criticisms of the government has landed him in trouble several times. In 2016, his office was raided and he was detained for eight days. Subsequently, Mr. Mubyazi was in court over 81 times in 2017 alone under the restrictive CyberCrimes Act. He is currently facing prosecution for his refusal to name his informants in a story bashing Tanzanian authorities.\n\n\n\nSince coming into power in 2015, President Magufuli has been accused of violating press freedom. The government has placed a ban on opposition party rallies. Consequently, some of their leaders have been arrested. Mr. Maxence Melo Mubyazi, a father of three said,\n\n\u201cIt is of course not good news that my country is making the headlines because of its laws and practices that violate freedoms of the press and expression. Never before in our country has a government violated press freedom so much. With the announcement of this award, I think the international community will take a greater interest in what is happening in Tanzania, in the difficult environment in which the media and human rights defenders work in Tanzania.\u201d<\/em>\n
