Speak out Against Pentecostalist Witch Hunters

From Emergent Africa Fri Sep 12 2014, 19:48:00

Leo Igwe writes :

Nigeria's notorious witch hunter, Helen Ukpabio, is suing for libel both the British Humanist Association (BHA) and the Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network(WHRIN). In this she is, as in other matters, a repeat offender. All British campaigners for children's rights, and especially humanists and secularists will not stand for the spread of African Pentacostalist witch hunts to the UK.

This lawsuit should serve as a wake up call for all rational people in Britain. It should provide a rallying point for those who subscribe to enlightened values and who must now take a proactive stance against the 'witch hunting tourism' of these African pastors.
