Police in Malawi have blocked a protest march by people with albinism who were trying to make their way to the State house.
A journalist at the scene said there were scuffles as the protesters attempted to break through the police cordon.
They wanted to present a petition to President Peter Mutharika following a spike in the killing of albinos.
The President met the delegation and promised to address the issue.
Albinos are frequently killed in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania with their body parts used to make charms which are believed to bring luck, money and love.
