“Two men in Zambia have been handed two-year prison sentences with hard labor after being found guilty of plotting to assassinate the country’s president through witchcraft,” The Independent reports.
“The Zambian and Mozambican nationals were convicted last week under a colonial-era witchcraft statute. A court determined they possessed various charms, including a live chameleon, an animal tail, and a dozen bottles of concoctions. These items were reportedly intended to cast a fatal spell on President Hakainde Hichilema.”
