136 people arrested for walking at night in Blantyre

Dec 04, 2015 Luke Bisani Top News 98

Malawi Police in the commercial city of Blantyre have arrested 136 people for the offence of rogue and vagabond.

Speaking to Malawi24, Blantyre police spokesperson Elizabeth Divala said out of the 136 people, 26 are women.

“We arrested these people around our areas under Blantyre police: Ndirande, Chilomoni, Milale, Soche, Mpemba, Chilobwe, Chirimba and Sigelege,” said Divala.

Divala further said some suspects have appeared before court while others are yet to appear in court to answer charges of rogue and vagabond which is contrary to section 184 of the penal code.

The law of Rogue and vagabond recently attracted debate as others argue that it discriminates the poor and that it is prone to abuse by law enforcers.

A study conducted by the Centre for Human Rights Education, Advice and Assistance (CHREAA) also deemed the law of rogue and vagabond as ‘No justice for the Poor’.
