HRDC To Hold Press Briefing on Issues of National Importance

Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) is expected to hold a press briefing on issues of national importance at 2 pm in the capital Lilongwe.

Among others the coalition is expected to address the restless continued political violence in most parts of the country as other people have created a no go zone for other political parties.

Adding to that HRDC will also tackle on the issue of attacks of human rights activist in the country.

This morning, the human rights body alleged that suspected Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members are planning to kill one of HRDC members Moya Walita.

Continued attacks on the judiciary by president Peter Mutharika has also been outlined as a key issue to be addressed during the press briefing.

After the Constitutional Court nullified May 21, 2019 presidential elections, Mutharika and his DPP have been accusing the judges of robbing his victory saying the decision did not reflect the will of Malawians.

Covid-19 pandemic and the position of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) status ahead of fresh presidential elections have also been included to be tackled.
