IRLI continues to achieve strong results in our Access to Justice Programme in Malawi. The Programme Lawyers placed in Lilongwe’s Legal Aid Department primarily work to ensure that pre-trial detainees have increased access to their due process rights and that unnecessarily lengthy pre-trial detention is reduced, which impacts directly on overcrowding in the prisons.
