MALAWI: Human Rights Commission drafting plan to protect human rights

Interference in the judiciary and an increase in the alleged harassment of journalists in Malawi are issues that the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) aims to address in a plan to promote and protect human rights in the country. The plan being drafted in consultation with civil society and the government, would study rights that include civil, political and economic, and compare "gaps" between what the constitution enshrined and the government's performance.
