Malawi: 18 dead in unprecedented protests (AP)

A protester burns vegetation in a street in Lilongwe, Malawi, Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Protesters went on the rampage after a court injunction stopped them protesting the economic and democratic crisis in the country. A coalition of more than 80 rights groups had organised nationwide protest marches for Wednesday. They wanted to protest what they say are moves by the Malawi's President Bingu wa Mutharika to roll back hard-fought democratic gains made since the first democratic polls in 1994 removed dictator Kamuzu Banda from power.
