Human Rights Advocates Want Justice For Police Officer Imedi

Centre for Human Rights Rehabilitation (CHRR) and Youth and Society (YAS) have called on the Lazarus Chakwera administration to ensure justice for Usman Imedi who was murdered while on duty at Msundwe in Lilongwe.

The two organizations said government should act on human rights violations and politically motivated killings.

They mentioned Usman Imedi, a police officer who was brutally killed last year during post-election protests at Msundwe in Lilongwe.

Imedi was stoned to death by angry people in the capital Lilongwe, Nsundwe Township following disagreements that former President Peter Mutharika planned to hold a political rally in the area arguing that Mutharika is not their president.

Following chaotic scenes that took place, police were deployed at the area to maintained peace and order.

Up to date there has been no progress over the matter.
