Why it’s not OK to promote the belief in mystic forces which go against all available evidence:
I can’t see clearly what is going on, but heavy smoke is rising from the ground and a horrible stench fills the air [...]
Suddenly an old woman breaks from the crowd, screaming for mercy. Three or four people go after her, beat her and drag her back, pushing her onto – what I can now see – is a raging fire.
I was witnessing a horrific practice which appears to be on the increase in Kenya – the lynching of people accused of being witches [...]
I later discovered that the young boy who had supposedly been bewitched, was suffering from epilepsy.
His mother had panicked when he had had an attack.
