Two men burned alive after crowd suspects them of organ trafficking on tourism hot spot in Indian Ocean
Thursday, October 3, 2013 The Toronto Star
Two Europeans were burned alive on a tourist island in Madagascar by a crowd because they thought that the two Europeans were trafficking human organs after a dead child was found on a beach.The crowd that killed the men was made up of residents on the island of Nosy Be which is one of the Indian Ocean's leading tourism spots. One of the foreigners actually admitted to be organ trafficking after the locals fond the dead body of the child. The police are now searching for another suspected organ trafficker. One of the burned men was French and the French foreign ministry warned 700 of its citizens who were in Madagascar to avoid all travel within Madagascar. Ever since President Andry Rajoelina came to power, crime has increased in Madagascar and now almost 80 percent of all households in Madagascar are now living below the poverty line.
In my opinion this whole situation is brutal, but I don't think that any man should ever be burned alive. After reading this article I definitely wouldn't want to travel to Madagascar because of how poor and run down it sounds. I think that the locals who burned the foreigners should be legally punished by the African Government.
