HRDC vows to continue its operations

Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) says it will continue with its operations as an organization focused on human rights activism following the resignation of former Chairperson Timothy Mtambo .

Chairperson of the organization Gift Trapence who has replaced Mtambo said this at a press briefing which the grouping conducted in Lilongwe.

Speaking with reporters, Trapence said people have been spreading rumours that the organisation has stopped working due to resignation of its chairperson Timothy Mtambo.

“We will not be conducting demonstrations until conoranavirus end because as human rights defenders people’s health become our first priority,” he said.

The grouping’s chairperson went on to say that people in the country should continue working with the organization in fighting and building a better Malawi.

According to Trapence, HRDC will be back in the streets demanding justice on the issue if the suspects are not arrested.

HRDC is the grouping that has been leading in massive demonstrations aimed at forcing Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Jane Ansah to resign for mismanaging May 21 elections .
