Hong Kong court adjourns Malawian woman drug trafficker case to January

A court in Hong Kong has adjourned to January a case involving 29-year-old Estina Mukasera who faces a death sentence for drug trafficking.

Estina Mikasera

Robert Mkwezalamba, chairman of Human Rights Defenders Coalition said she Mukasera appeared before the court on December 3 and this time there was a Malawian translator for her.

“It is pleasing to note that Malawi Foreign office in Beijing attended the sessions and that Estina was provided with a defense lawyer by the Hing Kong administration,” said Mkwezalamba.

Mkwezalamba says said the Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC) where he is executive director,  continues to commend the parliamentary committee on International Relations, ministry of Foreign Affairs, Father John Wotherspoon and all that are playing various roles to secure a fair trial and possible repatriation of her back home.

“Our concern as HRCC, besides lobbying for her return, is to use her case to show case how grave trafficking in persons and banned substances has penetrated our society-hence we would like a united action to ensure that we get rid of this vice,” said Mkwezalamba.

He said HRCC is collaborating with family, police and other national organs to get to the bottom of the matter and have the master minders face justice

There was noone from Malawi foreign office. The translator is a lady Malawian professional working in Hong Kong. The alleged trafficker was speaking to her lawyer in English but when the Malawian (her initials are EM) spoke to her in Chichewa she cried continuously for 5 minutes whereupon the proceedings were adjourned to next year. These are the facts.

Estina is one of us (Malawian). If we did not do well with other similar cases, let this be the starting point & the emphasis is not to encourage but to transform. Mr Robert Mkwezalamba & your colleagues, you have my vote. “amene sanachimwepo……)

Koma dziko la Malawi ndi lokondela. There people who were detained at Lindela in SA for just trying to earn a honest leaving but our government is doing nothing. This is a criminal sent to China by Nigerians and we are wasting all the resources. I wonder who is behind this publicity.

Mikasera? Which part of Malawi is she from?Could this be the effects of passport scam that Uladi Mussa played? Is she married to Nigerians or DRC ?
