国际特赦组织再次呼吁政府通过反巫术指控法案。此前，90岁的Akua Denteh在萨凡纳地区的卡法巴（Kafaba）遭私刑杀害，至今已过去六年。\n\n该组织表示，该法案迟迟未能通过，意味着当局未能履行保护全国数百名巫术指控受害者的职责。\n\n2020年7月23日，Akua Denteh因被指控使用巫术而被殴打致死。令人不安的现场视频显示，两名女子对她实施了袭击。这两人后来于2023年因过失杀人罪被定罪并判处12年监禁。\n\n国际特赦组织昨日在阿克拉向The Ghanaian Times抄送的一份声明中指出，许多其他被指控巫术的女性由于担心生命安全，被迫逃离家园。\n\n该组织将Akua Denteh的案件描述为“巫术指控造成可怕后果的最令人心碎的例证之一”。\n\n声明称，她逝世的周年纪念日严厉地提醒人们，迫切需要防止进一步的虐待并保护无辜的生命。\n\n国际特赦组织的合作机构Songtaba执行董事Lamnatu Adam表示，巫术指控通常源于家庭或社区内部，往往发生在疾病或死亡等悲剧事件之后。

原文原文 / Original Text

Amnesty International has renewed its call on the government to pass the Anti-Witchcraft Accusations Bill, six years after the lynching of 90-year-old Akua Denteh at Kafaba in the Savannah Region.

The organisation said the continued delay in passing the bill meant that authorities had failed in their duty to protect hundreds of victims of witchcraft accusations across the country.

Akua Denteh was beaten to death on July 23, 2020, after she was accused of witchcraft. Disturbing footage of the incident showed two women assaulting her. The pair were later convicted and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment in 2023 for manslaughter.

In a statement copied to The Ghanaian Times in Accra yesterday, Amnesty International noted that many other women accused of witchcraft had been forced to flee their communities for fear of their lives.

It described Akua Denteh's case as "one of the heart-wrenching examples of the dire consequences of witchcraft accusations".

The statement said the anniversary of her death served as a stark reminder of the urgent need to prevent further abuses and protect innocent lives.

The Executive Director of Songtaba, a partner organisation of Amnesty International, Lamnatu Adam, said witchcraft accusations often originated within families or communities, usually following tragic events such as illness or death.
