Shiringamazu Alto #fundie uk.news.yahoo.com

A 73-year-old woman was doused in petrol and burned alive on top of a bonfire after local people accused her of being a witch, prosecutors said.

Prosecutor Hugo Mauricio said that Rosa Villar Jarionca was sentenced to death by the remote Shiringamazu Alto community in the Peruvian Amazon - after people claimed she made them sick through witchcraft.

The burning took place last week, but the area is so remote that news did not reach the authorities, Mauricio said.

‘The woman was burned alive because the people accused her of being a witch, ‘ Mauricio said - saying that accusations of witchcraft are common among indigenous communities.

A phone video given to prosecutors shows Villar being doused in gasoline while on top of a pile of dry logs and branches, then set on fire with a match.

A local community logbook contained details of the decision to burn her - which was in response to a majority vote, and signed by community leaders, Mauricio said.

Atsushi Maishigi #fundie uk.news.yahoo.com

A teenage girl thought by her father to have been possessed by an ‘evil spirit’ died from suffocation in an exorcism, it has been reported.

Tomomi Maishigi’s father and a monk performed a ‘waterfall service’ on the 13-year-old where she was allegedly bound to a chair by a belt and placed face-up underneath a water pump for five minutes at a Buddhist church in Kumamoto, south Japan.

The pair - 56-year-old monk Kazuaki Kinoshita and the girl's 50-year-old father Atsushi Maishigi - were arrested yesterday on charges of inflicting injury resulting in the death following the ritual.

According to the Mainichi Daily News, her father held her down under the falling water while the monk chanted sutras in the early hours of 27 August.

When the victim fell unconscious, they called an ambulance but she was later pronounced dead.

Kumamoto Prefectural Police said that after the incident which took place last month the teenager died of suffocation.

The girl had undergone the ritual a hundred times before since March, police also said.

Mr Maishigi reportedly claimed that his daughter was possessed and found the monk to perform the ritual to exorcise the demons so she could get better. But she resisted and became violent.

“Our actions were aimed at exorcising evil spirits from her and were not physical abuse," the men were quoted as telling investigators,” the men reportedly told police.

Tomomi had suffered from mental and physical illness since she was a senior-grade primary school student, and had not attended school since April.

A spokesperson for the Nakayamashingoshoshu's (a sect of Buddhism) main temple in Kiyama said: “The water rite is done to bring one's wishes to reality, but of course you cannot exorcise with it. We also do not instruct to bound the arms and legs when doing the ritual.”

When were the people of this country ever asked if they wanted a multiracial nation? It was forced onto this country by the the wooly-headed liberal elite & left wing extremists who wish to force on us their New World Order. A nations people make a nation, change the people & you change a nation, something as drastic as that should have been put to the people, it wasn't instead an act of treason was commited followed by a further act of treason & persecution with the race relations act which was introduced to persecute those who wished their homeland to remain British. A further act of treason was commited by dragging this nation undemocratically (once more) into a European Superstate. The only thing serious about racism is the word itself which has been used to bully the whiteman & those who oppose the destruction of their homeland through mass immigration of alien races & cultures. It's fine for every other ethnic group to have an organisation to represent it other than whites. Start looking beyond the gatepost, we are an overpopulated nation with limited resources, bringing half the third world here will bring an end to this nation as third world people make a third world nation. Seen any jobs advertised for 'whites only'? You won't but plenty for 'blacks only'. Wake up you muppets!

Boats carrying migrants from Africa to Europe should be sunk to stop Europe being "swamped by the Third World", British National Party leader Nick Griffin has said.

Mr Griffin, one of two members of the extreme-right party elected to the European Parliament last month, said occupants of sunk boats could be given life rafts to get back to Africa.

"The only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over.

"Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats," he told BBC Parliament's The Record Europe. "Anyone coming up with measures like that we'll support but anything which is there as a 'oh, we need to do something about it' but in the end doing something about it means bringing them into Europe' we will oppose."
