Time for democratic dialogue in Malawi - Not death threats and unfounded treason charges

NEWS RELEASE – Statement by the Southern Africa Human Rights Defenders Trust (SAHRDT)            Johannesburg, July 26: In the wake of last week’s bloody demonstrations in Malawi, the Southern Africa Human Rights Defenders Trust (SAHRDT) calls on President Bingu wa Mutharika to engage in an open, national debate about the country’s future – rather than resorting to more inflammatory attacks on civil society leaders and pro-democracy activists.
