Amnesty International called on Malawi to stop the ritual killings of albinos after the gruesome discovery of two bodies this past week.
“These gruesome killings are a reminder of the grave danger people with albinism in Malawi live in,” said its Deputy Director for Southern Africa, Muleya Mwananyanda.
“Authorities must act now to end this killing spree and take immediate measures to protect these vulnerable people.”

Thousands of people with albinism live in constant fear of abduction or death at the hands of criminal gangs who use – and sell – their bodies for archaic rituals.
Namusyo was attacked as she made her way to another village on a bicycle to buy some traditional, local medicine.
About 14 albinos have been killed in Malawi since December 2014.
She left home under cover of darkness at 2am and her mutilated body and bicycle were found at 10am the same day.
At least 14 people with albinism are known to have been killed in Malawi since December 2014 and five others have been abducted in the same period.
Mwananyanda added: “We call on Malawian authorities to ensure that suspected perpetrators of these horrific crimes are brought to justice, and to address the root causes of these killings, which have left people with albinism living in constant fear.”
In total, At least 65 cases of violence against albinos, including killings and dismemberment, have been recorded by police in the country since late 2014.
There are an estimated 10,000 albinos in Malawi, out of a population of 16.5million.
