What a week! 80 police officers trained over 4 days on bail issues. Trainings were led by MBP Director @CMacThatch, assisted by the wonderful team @chreaa_malawi & made possible with support from @a4id and @UKaid - https://t.co/LHLO2fis7R

Our paralegals Chisomo & Kesten attended Manase police station to provide legal advice and assistance to those being held in police custody. For most, this will be the only opportunity to access legal advice/support throughout the whole court process.

GOOD NEWS: Phinza Kuchande was released from death row and Malawi's Zomba prison last night. He told our own Chipi Lulanga that he "feels like he has been resurrected."

Phinza is the first to be released since Malawi abolished the death penalty in May.

[Reprieve @Reprieve]

Opposition to the death penalty in Malawi is gathering more momentum each day.

MPs, the Malawi Prison Service, representatives of victims, Muslim and Christian faith leaders, traditional leaders and our own @AKamangila have come together to call for abolition👇🏿

‘Social distancing is not a luxury available to those sharing a 6m x 12m prison cell with over 200 other prisoners.’ Charlotte Mackenzie on the @MalawiBail Project educating communities and detainees on the right to bail and how to exercise it: https://t.co/zxrGKSpMMW

Over two thousand inmates at Zomba Central Prison risk contracting waterborne diseases as they have spent more than three days without water.

According to inside sources, there is no sanitation at the facility which is putting the prisoners at risk

Very sad news. Byson Kaula was an inspiring figure in Malawi's battle against the death penalty. When @charlottermcd and I met him in 2019 he was already in his 60s, but making up for the decades of life he'd lost in prison after an unsafe conviction. /1
