STATEMENT OF THE MALAWI LAW SOCIETY ON THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF HONORABLE TUNDU LISSU, THE PRESIDENT OF THE TANGANYIKA LAW SOCIETY

1. The Malawi Law Society (MLS) has learnt with great shock and profound sadness of the attempt on the life of the President of the Tanganyika Law Society (TLS), the Honorable Tundu Lissu, MP on Thursday, September 7th, 2017 at his home in Dodoma, Tanzania. The MLS unreservedly condemns this cowardly and heinous act of violence against Honorable Lissu and calls upon the government of Tanzania to take immediate steps to bring those responsible to justice.

2. The MLS notes that the violence unleashed against the person of Honorable Lissu is a culmination of a sustained assault that some within the Tanzanian political establishment have engaged in against the organised legal profession in Tanzania. It is difficult to see this attack on Honorable Lissu as anything but part of a well-coordinated and malicious campaign bent on undermining the independence of the legal profession in Tanzania. These kinds of antics are retrogressive and are deserving of fierce resistance from Tanzanians and all of their compatriots on the continent.

3. The MLS would like to assure the TLS that in it, it will find an unwavering partner in the cause of promoting the independence of the bar in Africa and the rule of law. The MLS urges the leadership of the TLS to remain steadfast in standing for what is just and right, even in this moment of great tribulation and personal peril. As it has been rightly said ‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.’

Issued at Lilongwe, Malawi this 9th day of September, 2017
