Child Witchhunt in the Name of Jesus
Christian Pastors in Congo Paid to Perform Violent Exorcisms
May 21 2009
by Dan Harris and Almin Karamehmedovic

Excerpt from article at http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=7613395&page=1

    In a dirt-floored, back-alley church, 8-year-old Bobby and his 6-year-old brother Henock were made to kneel before a pastor wearing a white, flowing robe adorned with pictures of Jesus... These young brothers were the latest victims in an epidemic of accusations of child witchcraft here in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is raging in the name of Jesus. It continues seemingly unabated despite flags raised by organizations such as the United Nations, Save the Children and Human Rights Watch.
