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.

Monaco was targeted for preventing the torture of a nine Year Old Girl accused of sorcery.

But it turned around and realized that the baby was not the real bang that they left so they missed them could drown them but carried over by their real already. And often without Family Protection the nine Year Old Girl was immediately single bound. Sorcerer and blamed for the death they locked in the house and they started questioning. As to how she killed the baby when i asked this if you did not theyre going to kill you so. Much but they. Saw i knew they would be a lot of danger. At the back 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. Getting really tired and i come back i feel like id like to feel like i just quit what im doing and just you know sit back and. Think about myself and now what i should do this because when i look and think about it its like this little support security guarantee that. Most of the sorcery attacks women and sometimes men who pursued norbert soon and his mother angelo. And. Their bodies were thrown into a communal toilet pit are finally common to some serial killings. Police told me they could not find the men responsible but as i discovered one of them wanted for questioning still lives at the crime scene ari my mother denies having any involvement but gives a detailed account of the witch hunt only got some going to be suspect. Something so sorry so i went up. The one suspect most awful or so. Just so make me. Still. Mantilla they dont like them to want to we can take them some of us not come. Lebanon steadily the attackers then turned to the mother of the murdered man. But its not them just wish to implement certain. Sampled only. 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 of the witch hunt. Action you one of them better not know what it will tell all and. You will want to suspect them of them and we got some not going to mean we got to stand up until it was totally let him down and just another come up here. And make some balance in. The brother of the victim most assume told me he was angry the killers remained free and said he was preparing to take the law into his hands alone governmental moving mission you think you know me money for me thinking of buying going to move. Me could induce an election labor all this and thought that a lot of would make the b. B. C. Think you know we can wait mr one thing will remove all these low. Level we will be fleet in motion well money killing little bit. Then you dont look even human to them to look. To global reading. Them to last he was in the old german come in the machine do a bus stop for the late. Most victims of sorcery attacks can expect little help from the law police and 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 the our Police Station as a local man with strong beliefs he says we chance and necessary to protect people from sorcery. Socially to source and there we saw his legacy as someone who died the police could note that were seeing. Several though so. Commander welsh dismisses the global condemnation of pop when you get a chance and says outside views should not be imposed on the country. We would rather you see the. Rights of people who want to come to. Use the socialist or totally any less. If we. Dont want to know will we have no. Human rights abuse of anyone. Can get us through for us. Therefore. Use. As an. Ally exactly to get rid of us. Who. Will underscore who included. Many survivors dont include attacks because they say police will never investigate but others refuse to give up several months after he rescued his wife mary from attack i find he to cali outside the Police Station hes identified. One of the suspects to police simone you stop a bus theyre going to not of us not figure out what on earth are not me you come looking for the squeamish for twenty third you know you stand up you know you watch but my. Pater is angry that police have not investigated the witch hunt that nearly killed his wife. Not thinking one play can continue in the just to make. Money. But every number. Can determine if they arrest the men he dispense seven hours detailing the case to police. Eventually officers make. This new law. One is monks you love a guy that. Doesnt have the only suspect or someone might. Yet. Police made the arrest but investigations in the charts are extremely rare. 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 be. Conducting believe because it will monitor whether some believe. After reports we chanted north of the problems officers agree need to join the search for the perpetrators. Globally. You mustnt blame. When she lost and sometimes. Police often least relatives of the victims and local villages to help catch the suspect. After traveling with the boys for several hours one of the suspects spotted by the side of the road. Police in villages attempt to arrest. Me down on him. One on one and would have to go out and go police. Although one man gets away the second suspect is captured and taken into custody and one of the recruits were kinds of personal song. That was part of the deal weve been able to move on or want to just. Do it. Im going to take you. Down. On home and i wanted. To. Know who they. Are and i. Do many little you know no good.

Were my friend a member somebody should let me push you know you remember me well bill. Bellamy. And were going to meet him im just so im going to remember but they really know what. Not to do you know youre not going to look at me like this the more you look you know. The police are also involved in causing a lot of abuses when you look at the Police Brutality when the perpetrators brought this you will see them start punching them and to me its like they dont know about the human rights so there should be a lot of training and. Patience in them. Not undeterred by threats to her life monica continues to help victims of the chants and hes urging the National Government to stand sparing human rights disaster the government of top wanted me to look seriously into this cases and they should work with human rights defenders on the ground the Community Leaders the Police Everyone has to get involved because the violence is really getting out of it and then its really increasing. In one word via the government. The people the leaders everyone is still work together. Monica is one of the voices brave enough to speak out against the brutality which adds fuel listening and fear of sorcery is growing attacks against the u. S. And spreading across papa new guinea and becoming more brazen. And is the number that continues to rise. I have only just begun.
