MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-A coalition of residents in Mzimba has announced plans to stage “angry demonstrations” against the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC).
The group claims that HRDC has engaged in selective activism, targeting certain political actors while ignoring others.
They argue that the rights body has shown political inconsistency in its advocacy and public statements.
The coalition describes its planned protest as a response to what it perceives as unfair treatment and partiality by HRDC.
According to the organizers, the demonstration aims to hold HRDC accountable for actions that they believe undermine impartial human rights advocacy in Malawi.
The group has called on citizens to join the protest and voice their concerns about perceived political bias.
This announcement adds to growing debates over the role and influence of civil society organizations in Malawi’s political landscape.
Critics of HRDC argue that selective activism can erode public trust in rights bodies and compromise their credibility.
Meanwhile, HRDC has not yet responded publicly to the allegations or announced any measures to address the criticism.
Observers say the planned protests in Mzimba could spark wider discussions about accountability, fairness, and the balance between advocacy and political neutrality in civil society.
The unfolding situation will be closely watched by both political actors and human rights stakeholders across Malawi.
