Traditional evil customs preserved in Papua New Guinea

Phoenix Technology News, Beijing time on October 14, 2011, the American LiveScience website reported that Papua New Guinea, a huge island country in the north of Australia, often boasts of its fast-growing economy and abundant natural resources, including gold, copper and agricultural products. However, in the rugged mountains and rainforests of this Commonwealth Republic, dark behaviors often occur.

According to the Papua New Guinea Courier Post, the father of a three-year-old girl took his daughter to a forest on October 9, bit her neck, ate her meat and sucked her blood. The two boys witnessed the entire incident and reported to local officials, World Customs Network, who quickly arrested the man.

"The man looked at the boys and laughed and continued to eat meat and drink blood," said local councillor John Kenny. Although this blood-sucking incident was terrible, it was not an isolated incident and there have been many similar witness reports in Papua New Guinea.

This relatively undeveloped country is home to millions of people living in isolated villages, who still adhere to certain traditional customs, some even including cannibalism. Last year, officials in Papua New Guinea arrested 29 people for killing and eating the brains and genitals of seven people accused of witchcraft. The family of a recently deceased 6-year-old boy accused the mother of a 20-year-old boy of practicing witchcraft. The woman was stripped naked, bound, tortured with a soldering iron, soaked in gasoline and eventually burned alive in broad daylight. There were hundreds of onlookers at the scene, the Associated Press reported. Officials condemned the brutal killing but made no arrests.

Cult Leader Massacre In March 2011, Steven "Black Jesus" Tari-an accused rapist and leader of a cult group dedicated to rape, sacrificial killing and cannibalism-escaped from prison and returned to his own cult, which is estimated to have more than 6000 members.

In February 2011, Talley finally suffered the consequences after killing a teenage girl-he was castrated, massacred and finally thrown into a shallow pit by a group of spontaneously organized vigilantes. "Tali died, and the cult worship disappeared with his death." Police investigator Ray Ban said this. "If I hear of other cult worship, I will come back with my police officers to re-investigate."

"Women, the elderly or the disabled in our society are often accused of practicing witchcraft or other evil things they have never done. This should be condemned." Peter O'Neill, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, said this.

The government cracked down on violence against spontaneously organized vigilantes and other witchcraft crimes, and Papua New Guinea repealed the 1971 Witchcraft Act, which criminalized "evil witchcraft," or the local so-called sanguma. The country has also re-established the death penalty for anyone who murders suspected witches, a reinstatement that has been condemned by the United Nations, Amnesty International and other groups.

"There are still many cruel executions, but they reflect the seriousness of the nature of the crime and the community needs that Parliament needs to meet," said Daniel Korimbao, a spokesman for O'Neill.
