Attorney General Kalekeni Kaphale has made fresh application to the Supreme Court of Malawi to force the anti-Jane Ansah protest organisers to suspend their demonstrations until the government and the rights activists reach a common understanding.

Relentless protests

The application has been filed Thursday just hours before HRDC officials and government's top lawyer meet on Friday at the court sanctioned meeting in Blantyre.

Doris Mitole, an official in the office of the Attorney General has confirmed of the fresh application.

"There is need for the HRDC to hold the demonstrations until the issue has been resolved," said Mitole.
