Nine People Sentenced for Killing Albinos
July 24th, 2009A Burundi court has sentenced nine people for participating in the murder of albinos, and then selling their body parts for witchcraft potions in neighboring Tanzania, the BBC reports. One person was sentenced to life in prison and the rest were sentenced to serve between one and 15 years in jail for the murders of at least 12 albinos in the east African nation. The court also acquitted three other suspects in the killings. In recent years, there has been a surge in albino killings the region due to the fact that some witchdoctors have claimed that good luck potions made with albino body parts are strengthened. This is the first trial of albino murderers since the surge of killings took place in 2007, reports the BBC. In Tanzania, although at least 200 people have been arrested for trading albino body parts, no one has been convicted. An albino rights organization in Burundi says that the response from authorities is improving, but could be better.
