Opposition leader in parliament, Dr. George Chaponda has condemned the treatment of Rumphi East Parliamentarian Kamlepo Kalua, who was arrested and handcuffed from Blantyre to Lilongwe.

Chaponda, who visited Kalua in police custody, expressed outrage at the MP being driven in handcuffs and denied basic rights.

Kalua recounted his ordeal, describing the arrest as brutal and intimidating, with no opportunity to ask questions.

Human rights activist Bon Kalindo was also arrested and is facing similar charges. The arrests have raised concerns about freedom of speech and the potential misuse of the cybercrime law to silence critics.

Chaponda has called for a fight for justice and a better Malawi, where freedom and fairness prevail.

Both Kalua and Kalindo will appear before today in the afternoon.
