A person who arranges, manages, or attends a meeting that supports a proscribed organization, renders support for an act of terrorism, or harbors or conceals a person convicted of terrorism is liable to be sentenced to death, when the offense results in death.  Though this law has not yet been tested, it has the potential to put defendants accused of limited involvement in terrorist crimes at risk of receiving a capital sentence.
On the other hand, the Constitution of Zanzibar states that all government organs and their workers should “follow and adhere the international treaties on human rights and good governance.”  It is therefore possible that nursing mothers may be excluded from executions falling under the jurisdiction of Zanzibar.
We found no laws prohibiting the execution of prisoners who are mentally ill at the time the sentence is to be carried out.

Other potentially significant cases concerning capital punishment remain pending. In October 2018, the Legal and Human Rights Centre filed a constitutional case at the Tanzanian High Court challenging the constitutionality of the mandatory death penalty.  The case remains before the courts.
The Southern African Legal Information Institute offers a database of case law from Tanzania (http://www.saflii.org/content/tanzania-index), but the database is less extensive for Tanzania than for other countries in the region.
The Tanzanian judiciary’s database (http://www.judiciary.go.tz/judgments/pages/published_cases_hc_ca.php) contains judgments of the Court of Appeal and the High Court, but it is not yet comprehensive.
The most recent judicial decisions can be found in the Tanganyika Law Society’s annual report, “Tanganyika Law Society Law Report 2017,” which can be ordered in hard copy from the Law Society’s Secretariat. The Law Society also sells hard copies of prior years of published case law.

Yes. As of September 2018, there were at least there Burundians,  one Ivorian, and one person from the Democratic Republic of Congo on death row.  At the end of 2014, Amnesty reported that there were also four Kenyans and one Indian on death row. We have not been able to confirm these reports, but it is likely there are more foreign nationals than we have been able to document.
