Gabrieli Daudi, Tiofili Israeli, Marseli Martini and Kamili Fabiano were arrested on 2 June 2024 after publicly sharing their concerns about the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) press conference organized by Ugandan and Tanzanian civil society groups on Africa Day, 25 May. They expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation of the project-affected people in Tanzania, lands being allegedly taken without agreements, and harassment by Tanzanian police.

The four were released without charge after a night in detention.
