Malawi Police fire tear gas at MCP supporters
A Police officer in the capital city Lilongwe on Tuesday fired tear-gas in order to disperse the angry Malawi Congress Party (MCP) supporters who gathered inlarge number at Kaneng police station in order to force Malawi Police release their legal advisor, Lewis Chakhwantha who apparently, handed himself in over accusation of coup plot through WhatsApp conversation.
MCP members had peaceful demonstrations on Tuesday as they conducted vigil at Kanengo Police Station demanding release of Chakhwantha.
However, things got out of hand when at around 19:00PM local time, MCP vigilant group announced that they would sleep at the Police Station.
The party members argued that there is no way that the members could be in their comfort of their homes while their youth director is in prison.
The announcement did not go down well with the duty Police officers who immediately pulled out teargas and threw to the MCP members.
Fearing for their safety, the members sped to different directions.
Nyasa Times reporters saw riot police, some armed with rubber batons, guns and teargas launchers and some in armored trucks chasing the MCP supporters.
The State is accusing MCP members in US-sponsored drive to galvanise the regime change lobby and topple President Peter Mutharika
Malawi Law Society has described the arrest as unlawful and tantamount to stifle hard earned democracy.

These are signs that the young kangwazi is about to go to Ndata to rest in ‘peaces’ the devil has already opened his doors to welcome him to the land of darkness. We will be there for a rapturous send off as Chilima will be taking over the reigns of power.
Almost everywhere in Africa the police are the cause of insurgence because of their overzealous conduct. They always growl like angry dogs even when what is happening is not worthy any salt. Remember the Chilumpha and Matumula “treason” trumped up cases, the DPP and the stupid police said they had overwhelming evidence and MBC went ahead to air the inaudible conversations and wasted so many millions which could have benefited Malawians? As if that was not shamefull enough the same DPP and police are at it again; MBC as usual, without shame, chose to air the purpoted doctored Whatsapp conversation,… Read more »
