A prominent Malawian musician censored by his government is refusing to shut up. Lucius Banda is Malawi's prominent musician but the government banned his latest album from enjoying airplay on all stations owned by the dominant Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). The album, known as Fifteen Fifteen, has touched some raw nerves in the Malawian government because of some of its "sensitive" lyrics. The acting controller of programmes at MBC, David Kamkwamba justified the ban on Banda's music by saying the corporation had every right to determine what it airs and what it doesn't.

AMNESTY International has urged aauthorities in Malawi to immediately and unconditionally release two Malawian men currently in jail for being homosexuals.
