Lilongwe Senior Resident Magistrate Wanangwa Nyirenda has granted bail to human rights activists Joshua Chisa Mbele, Levy Luwemba and four others.

The bail ruling follows a no objection by the state on bail application by the accused, and following all arguments from both parties of defense and complainant the bail has been granted.

On the bail conditions each of the six has been asked to separately provide K200 thousand Cash bond, two reliable and traceable sureties bonded at K500 thousand.

The six have also been ordered to surrender travelling documents and to report to Central West police headquarters every fortnight.

President Lazarus Chakwera’s critic Mbele and co-accused were arrested last Friday in the capital city during anti-government demonstrations.

The six have been charged with two counts each of contravening a written notice by Lilongwe District Commissioner and inciting violence
