Dar es Salaam. A coalition of foreign missions and delegations, including the British and Canadian High Commissions, the Embassies of Norway, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the European Union Delegation, have issued a joint statement urging Tanzania to release all bodies of those killed in the October electoral violence to their families. 

While expressing deep concern over the recent events in Tanzania, the foreign missions also urged President Samia Suluhu's government to free political prisoners and allow detainees to get legal and medical help.
