American Humanist, Pete Larson, is visiting Malawi in his professional capacity. He and his colleagues paid the fines to releaseand three old women 'witches' and for transport to their village.
You can read his excellent and sensitive account at:

Commentary on areas of concern, mainly in Malawi, in the realm of human rights and the rule of law but not excluding other personal observations on matters of general interest.
Government hides the truth
If you go to one demonstration and then go home, that's something, but the people in power can live with that. What they can't live with is sustained pressure that keeps building, organisations that keep doing things, people that keep learning lessons from the last time and doing it better the next time.
Noam Chomsky
Power is a drug on which the politicians are hooked. They buy it from the voters, using the voters' own money.
