Tanzania - Feb 19

Yohana Bahati was taken from his home by unidentified men armed with machetes, mutilated and found by Tanzanian authorities on February 17. Attacks on albinos have risen in Tanzania recently. There have been at least three incidents in the last two months and 75 since 2000. Such attacks are often motivated by a desire for albino body parts to use in rituals. There is another albino child, who the government has been unable to locate since December. Source: All Africa
