Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Senior Resident Magistrate Wanagwa Nyirenda has allowed the state to present documents containing screenshots of activist Joshua Chisa Mbele\u2019s Facebook posts as evidence.<\/p>\n

Nyirenda has given the go ahead today as the state wants Mbele re-arrested due to his Facebook posts. Mbele was first arrested in January for allegedly defaming Malawi Defence Force (MDF) commander Vincent Nundwe. The activist was later released on bail.<\/p>\n

The state says he breached his bail conditions through his recent Facebook posts. Last week, the state presented a document containing screenshots but the defence argued that the documents could not be used as evidence in court.<\/p>\n

Today, Nyirenda has allowed the state to present the screenshots as evidence and has said the defence should inspect the gadgets used in taking the screenshots.<\/p>\n

The matter has since been adjourned to Friday this week. The document which Mbele posted and then deleted on his Facebook page allegedly contained a list of people suspected to have received bribes.<\/p>\n
