News coming through to Malawi24 indicates that Malawi President Peter Mutharika has pardoned 243 prisoners across the country’s prisons.

According to a statement from the the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security this is ”a symbol of forgiveness during this Year’s Republic Celebrations.”

”The prisoners who have been pardoned are those who have served at least half of their prison sentences, with good behavior and were not convicted of serious offences. Some prisoners have been considered for pardon because of their medical conditions.” reads the statement in part.

This comes hot in the heels of fears of continued congestion in Malawi’s prisons.
