Navin Christopher jimu may1 | The Nation OnlineThe British High Commissioner, Michael Nevin has welcomed the formation of the National Press Club (NPC) in the country.

“The UK government is a strong supporter of freedom of expression. Indeed, freedom of expression on the Internet is one of the Foreign Office’s global thematic human rights priorities,’’ Nevin said

“A free media and freedom of opinion and expression are integral to ensuring that citizens can exercise their full democratic rights. I therefore, welcome the formation of the NPC,” said the UK envoy.

“Governments need to respond to legitimate aspirations with reform, not repression,” he said.

Nevin’s comments came after recent engagements of President Joyce Banda with Misa Malawi where she accused journalists of killing of President Mutharika.

The President also refused to sign the Table Mountain Declaration.
