Tanzania arrested more than 200 witch doctors and traditional healers for killing albino people. The UN estimates that close to 80 albino people have been killed in Tanzania since 2000. Just a few weeks ago, a 1-year-old albino was killed in the northwestern region of the country. The witch doctors are fueled by the belief that the body parts of albino people have special powers to bring wealth and good fortune. According to the Red Cross, witch doctors will pay as much as $75,000 for a “complete set of albino body parts—including all four limbs, genitals, ears, tongue, and nose.” In January, Tanzania banned witch doctors from practicing in response to the albino killings.
