Amnesty International has taken Malawi to task for its lack of commitment to end albino attacks following the brutal attack on a 51 year-old albino woman whose hand was chopped off by thugs.
The woman, Lucia Kainga, was attacked together with her husband on Saturday in Chitipa district by four men.
Reacting on the attack, Amnesty International has demanded Malawi government to investigate the attack and to bring to book the culprits.
The international human rights organisation has further expressed shock over Malawi’s failure to curb the barbaric acts against people with albinism.
“Authorities must investigate the gruesome attack on Saturday on a woman with albinism and bring those suspected of the crime to justice.
“Just last month, the Malawian authorities assured Amnesty International that they are stepping up their efforts to prevent and punish these superstition-based attacks,” said Muleya Mwananyanda, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Southern Africa in a statement made available to Malawi24.
Meanwhile, police have arrested Joseph Ndimbwa in connection to the attack on the woman.
In June Amnesty International released a report titled “We are not animals to be hunted or sold”: Violence and discrimination against people with albinism in Malawi” which shed more light on the crimes against people with albinism in Malawi.
The report showed that women and children with albinism are particularly vulnerable to killings, and are sometimes targeted by their own close relatives.
After the report was published, Malawi government said Amnesty International must stay away from issues that are happening in the country.

This pains me. Why Malawi we dont think on our own. We always wait for international to point out that this and that is going worse. Kalindo protested and Dpp was not impressed. Mzungu kubwera u agree and cheer up. Malawi there is no way u get rich by killing someone. Let get educated and work hard we will be rich. Albino is a human being like u. #STOP KILLING PEOPLE WITH ALBINISM. ALBINO ndimwana wamunthu ngati inu chonde napepe Malawi

Hello I’m Samuel Okizou by name, I’m giving a testimony about Dr.Sule the great Herbalist, he has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my HIV disease, though I went through different website I saw different testimonies about different herbalists, I was like: “Many people have the HIV cure why are people still suffering from it?” I thought of it, then I contact Dr.Sule via email, I didn’t believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared the CURE and sent it to me via UPS courier service, they told me that it will take 3-4 days before I’ll get the parcel, 3 days later I received the package and I started taking the medicine as prescribed by him, after 7 days of taking the medicine I went for check-up, I was tested HIV NEGATIVE… IF YOU ARE SERIOUS YOU WILL BE CURED!!! contact Dr Sule on whats-app +2348162447651.

lack of intervention from international organisations is one factor zinthuzi zikupitilira. they pay more attention pa za ma ufulu a ma gays and other irrelevant stuffs. The way u respond to homophobia should b the same ndi ma albinoes.
