Tanzania: Albinos finally gets their human rights

Three men are to be hanged in Tanzania for the murder of a 13-year-old albino boy who was killed for his body parts in the country’s northwest.

Since 2007 at least 53 albinos have been murdered in the east African region and their body sold for witchcraft.

Under the same sun, a Canadian albino rights group was pleased with the courts decision but pointed out that it was just one judgment out of the 53cases.

The government of Tanzania is however working on these cases as a matter of fact they have opened at least 15 cases against suspects involved in the killings. They have arrested more than 90 people and among them four police officers who are linked to the murders or trade of albino body parts. (CK)
