Parliament condemns recent crimes and widespread discrimination against albinos in Malawi, ongoing restrictions of fundamental democratic rights in Bahrain and practices that discriminate against Myanmar’s Muslim minority, in particular the Rohingya, in three resolutions voted on Thursday.
Crimes against people with albinism in Africa, notably in Malawi
MEPs express deep concern at the continuous and widespread discrimination and persecution faced by persons with albinism in Africa. In Malawi, where an estimated 10,000 people have albinism, the police have reported 69 attacks on them since November 2014, including 18 murders, four of which took place as recently as April 2016. One victim was a two-year-old baby. (Courtesy of europarl.europa.eu)
