  As an American who was also wrongfully prosecuted in this highly corrupt Tanzanian legal system, Mr Rayford deserves every right to be free from this legal bullying and oppression. What people don’t know is that Tanzania wrongfully imprisons and prosecutes many people, citizens and foreigners, for their own financial gain. This is oppression and corruption at the highest level. A substantial part of their people don’t know how to read or speak English, yet the law is in English not their national language, Kiswahili. Which further adds to this crisis. Every human rights group needs to be investigation these crimes against humanity.
