Joshua Chisa Mbele, a fearless social media activist, is appearing before the court in Lilongwe as the state is applying to have his bail revoked due to his social media posts.
His lawyer Gibert Khonyongwa has since asked the court to dismiss the application in which the state argues that Mbele is breaching bail conditions.
Mbele, a critic of the President Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse Alliance government, was arrested in January for sharing a document on social media and was later granted bail.
As part of conditions for his release, Mbele was told not to express himself in a manner that would infringe other people’s rights.
Mbele still uses his Facebook account to criticize the Chakwera administration and condemn corruption and it appears his posts have not gone well with the police.
