Statement:
President Bingu Wa Mutharika, we call upon you to answer for your infringements upon the safety, security and freedom of your citizens. Hate crimes against LGBTIA people clearly do not constitute a matter that is of importance to you – a very worrying attitude for Us to accept quietly. Surely you cannot stand by and admire other countries in Africa like Uganda, where LGBTIA individuals have been forced to go into hiding? Remember Us. We are your teachers, your doctors, your funders, your children – wanting a future with hope. We will not be silenced, and we will not back down.
We, South African LGBTIA Youth and
Champions, cannot stand by as Malawi’s President Mutharika encourages further
hate in our continent. We refuse to commit to acceptance or apathy in the face
of a crime against Human-Rights, and demand that President Mutharika answer for
his actions. Gay rights are Human-Rights. You have miserably attempted to deny
this, but at some point you must realise that truth cannot ever be
silenced.

Human rights are not up for debate. Stop this nonsense now.
Absolute insanity. Everyone deserves to live their life without being worried about the government coming after them. Keep fighting.
