international importance.
It was his allegation that he had been left confused with the Government's restriction
on access to the Clubhouse. Having regard to the benefits derived by himself, the
Respondents, and other Tanzanians on the use of such media it irked and prompted him to
knock at the door of this Court seeking redress. He has decided to invoke the assistance of
the Court to unravel the alleged mystery of continued control of access and use of
Clubhouse. The Petitioner is asking this Court to grant several reliefs hoping to unlock his
restricted fundamental human rights. These are:
1. Declaration that the ongoing restrictions on the availability of the social audio platform
Clubhouse violate Article 18(1); 18(2); 20(1); 26(1)[ 29(1) and 29(5) of the
Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania of 1977 as amended (herein cited as
CURT);
2. Declaration that the ongoing restrictions on access to Clubhouse without VPN is
violative of provisions of various international treaties more particularly, the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) Article 19; International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights (ICCPR) Article 19, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples'
Rights (ACHPR) Article 9;
3. Declaration that the Petitioner and similarly situated Tanzanian citizens have
constitutional rights to unrestricted access to the social audio platform Clubhouse;
4. Declaration that the Petitioner and similarly situated Tanzanian citizens have rights
under international law and treaties to unrestricted access to the social audio platform
Clubhouse;
5. Interim orders that the Respondents provide and facilitate unrestricted access to the
social audio platform Clubhouse while the case progresses; and
6. Orders that the Respondents provide, facilitate, and continue to provide, unrestricted
access to the social audio platform Clubhouse from the date of judgment.
