Witch Doctors on the Hunt in Gambia

Gambians ‘taken by witch doctors’:

Up to 1,000 Gambian villagers have been abducted by “witch doctors” to secret detention centres and forced to drink potions, a human rights group says.

 Amnesty International said some forced to drink the concoctions developed kidney problems, and two had died.

Officials in the police, army and the president’s personal protection guard had accompanied the “witch doctors” in the bizarre roundup, said witnesses.

Gambia’s government was unavailable to comment on the claims.
