In a landmark ruling, Principal Resident Magistrate Martin Chipofya of the Zomba Principal Resident Magistrate Court has acquitted human rights activist Bon Kalindo of proposing violence during anti-government protests.

The court’s decision was based on the prosecution’s failure to provide sufficient evidence to prove Kalindo’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Kalindo’s arrest followed demonstrations in Zomba that ended in a fog of tear gas due to violence.

However, Principal Resident Magistrate Chipofya’s ruling has cleared Kalindo’s name and upheld his right to freedom of expression and assembly.
