| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to make an investigation of the influence of democracy on promotion of human rights in Unguja Island Zanzibar. The study focused on democracy and rights to freedom of warship, expression and fair trial. The objectives of the study were to; establish the relationship between democracy and the right to freedom of religion, freedom of speech and expression and between democracy and the right to fair trial. The concern of the researcher was the violation of human rights despite the proclamation of democracy in Zanzibar. The research was carried out by using a case study design which involved the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. Data analysis was done by using the Statistical package for the social science. A sample size of 120 respondents for community members,5 for Local leaders and 10 for human rights activists of the local community of Zanzibar. Data collection was done using structured questionnaires and interviews and both qualitative and quantitative methods of research were used. The combination of two methods increased the quality of research because results from each method reinforced each other for consistency. In the context of this study, democracy was measured in terms of rule of law, human dignity, political equality, political freedoms, common good, being informed and getting involved, personal freedom and respect. According to data from interviews with local leaders, freedom of religion was considered by many citizens and nations to be a primary human right. In addition, while freedom of speech is the freedom to speak without censorship and/or limitation, some members of the community feared to directly criticize the government. In an interview with local leaders, it was found out that many people were unlawfully tried. It is recommended that there is need for freedom of religion, speech and fair trail to be a constitutionally guaranteed right. | en_US |
