Alston is correct when he reports that the ongoing murder of suspected, accused and alleged 'Witches' is not receiving the attention it deserves. Take a look at how RT titles the story to see an example of how the pervasive institutionalization of prejudice against Witchcraft (or rather, against what people mistakenly believe to be Witchcraft) is entrenched by the media globally. The title could have reflected the suffering of innocents accused or the horror of human rights abuses, but RT chose instead to use the title of this important report to entrench the notion that Witches are indeed "wicked" and implying thereby that perhaps these wicked people deserved these abuses? Title: UN worried about murder of alleged Witches In almost every case the accused has denied being a Witch or practicing Witchcraft and the accused are rarely offered trial by law. There is no justice in murdering an accused without actual evidence of criminal activity.
