In chambers main town of young on suspicion of sorcery and so widespread that merely discussing witchcraft could lead to a time. For survivors the only support comes from human rights volunteers like monica palace monica travels throughout the highlands finding survivors of witch hunts and moving them out of danger she became a volunteer after meeting dinny karl the first time i went to help out like i was just traumatized but chills. Like a really shocking thing in my life and i was thinking like this is traded in your memory i dont think any human being destroyed a woman. There is a very risky doing this work monica says the nature of her work means she too often becomes the target of violence welcome at the gate the people think like you are doing this work because you are a soso right you will sell this way you are trying to defend. Kill your car and so its very risky but if we dont do it those got to do it thats the thing.

Apple n. D. Was mars friend and neighbor and told me she heard a woman scream soon after news of the husbands death reached the village. Along able. The whole planet in my mind i want to.

This is marcus kearney im here to taking part in a rethinking village woman accused of sorcery. We were smug here.

We look at about them listen now were not even doesnt know what it all and that got us good or said only that only that there were so much muglia now a family doing and look so awesome my love of learning the love. Marcus told me he no longer joins in the killing of accused which is the fear of sorcery power is spreading. Were ever i go in the country nearly every person i meet believes in witchcraft sorcery is part of the million isnt believe it is or believe it did a person process a creature you know within him or here and theres a potential to cause sickness or death of another person. Jackie romney is a leading researcher of sorcery belief and has published extensively on which killings it is important for people in the way to cater to explain that sickness and death are caused by in all bacteria or viruses you know this kind of things we have to change the belief system of the people to change the mindset. Chance typically during popular guineas Traditional Funeral Service known as the house. I was crying so how some morning you know when someone dies those who are suspect of Processing Power are brought to that central place. And they try to you know into a gate you know they try to make them tell whether they are responsible for the c. E. O. For the death or not. Many that survived the attacks and later were abandoned by their families shunned and isolated from the rest of the village. But in some cases families show immense bravery in defending their loved ones from witch hunts. Mary peter was attacked by seven men armed with machetes during a Funeral Service for a baby. Boy so step along house much. Bloody on one minute to stop we dont know what one does any less live here or voice your kid im not your definition woman someone you begin in the u. K. Give beginning in baby name day. Marys husband Peter Carnley drove her to safety as she was being attacked but not before the witch hunt had inflicted serious injuries.

I find monica several hours away she says an Early Warning allowed her to escape someone told me like i couldnt so i must not stay in the house so i moved but in the morning when i came back like those was broken in. Monica was targeted for preventing the torture of a nine Year Old Girl accused of sorcery. We chant began after a baby drowned in a nearby river they left the baby on the side of the riverbank with the other kids they were playing. Around they realized that the baby was not the rule being their daily lives and being much them good. Was carried over by the real already. And wolf and without Family Protection the nine Year Old Girl was immediately singled out as a sorcerer and blamed for the deaths they looked in the house and they started questioning her as to how she killed the baby when asked this if you did not. Go to cuba you saw. Told them that would be but they didnt do anything. So i knew they would be a lot of danger to be a little further up the birth of what ive been doing but i really felt that they should really help. Now a victim herself monica tells me shes thinking of stopping her work helping others its like im getting really tired and i come move or mimic i feel like id like there are times i feel like i just quit what im doing and just you know sit back and. Think about myself and what i should do and mold is because when i look and think about it this late. This little support then theres no security guarantee that.

Some city saw a comment up on. One suspect. So i just saw. Them. The attackers then turned to the mother of the murdered man. Im just not certain. A period of futile violence followed in retribution for the killings entire villages would break down and people were forced from their homes but there were no regrets for the witch hunt lets accept. You one of them but not know what it will tell all and. You warm out a little suspect of them because of the modern game and we got to kind of a two level totally let him down and thats another come up in my bandmates imbalance in. The brother of the victim most assume told me he was angry the killings remained free and city was preparing to take the law into his hands alone Governmental Commission you think you know me monday show me thinking of buying a new mood let me could induce an election labor all that a little would make the b. B. C. Think you know me come lately its the one thing in the movie all these low. Level remotely fleetly a mission well money killing little bit. When you dont look at women through them to look. Them too close to bush so in the old german come in the machine do a bus stop for the late. Most victims of sorcery attacks can expect a little help from the law police in pop when you get around to stop and underresourced corruption is rife and witchcraft has such an entrenched following in this country that police often lack the will and motivation to investigate. Michael welch is the Senior Commander of our Police Station as a local man with strong beliefs he says witch hunts and necessary to protect people from sorcery there is socially two sides and the result was loosely of someone who died the police could not that were seeing. Several though so. Commander welsh dismisses the global condemnation of pop when you get the charts and says outside views should not be imposed on the country. We would rather well see the. Rights of people who want to come to. Use the socialist or totally the us. If we. Are not to know when the world will have no. Human rights abuse of anyone. Can get us through for us then why. Use only a little. Bit and how exactly do you get rid of us. Who. Are just going to include.

But with a growing International Outrage to some sort of police and slowly being pressured to take action. Francis is a detective with the homicide squad and says police often find it difficult to investigate which chance it will work and this will probably. Conducting believe because it will monitor whether some believe. After reports we chanted north of the province offices agree need to join the search for the perpetrators. By them. Going to last and sometimes. Police often least relatives of the victims and local villages to help catch the suspect. After travelling with boys from the same alleys one of the suspects spotted on the song at the wrong. Police in the villages attempt to arrest. Me down on him.

The police are also involved in causing a lot of abuses in human rights when you look at the Police Brutality when a perpetrate this broad you will see them start punching them and to me its like they dont know about the human rights so this should be a lot of training and. Patience in them but.
