NewsdayAvailable for 29 days
Victims who spoke to the BBC Africa Eye investigation named Faustine Jackson Mafwele, an assistant commissioner of police, as their interrogator in a police station in Dar-es-Salaam. Neither he nor the Tanzanian police force responded to the allegations. We'll also get the latest on the Rafah border crossing -- between Gaza and Egypt -- which is due to re-open for Palestinians on Monday. Officials in Ukraine say at least twelve people were killed after a Russian drone hit a bus carrying miners, just hours after Russian drones hit a maternity hospital, injuring six people.
