非洲白化病患者遭瘋狂獵殺 身體器官制成藥劑

People with albinism living in Malawi have been the victims of a surge of attacks by people seeking to use their body parts in ritual practices.

非洲國家馬拉維的白化病患者遭受襲擊的案件一直在激增--人們尋求他們的肢體以進行宗教儀式。

According to an Amnesty International report released, at least 18 people with albinism have been killed since November 2014. A spike in the killings came this April, when four people, including a 2-year-old child, were killed.

據國際特赦組織（或稱大赦國際）發佈的一份報告顯示，自2014年11月以來，至少有18名白化病患者慘遭殺害。今年四月出現了殺戮高潮，包括一個兩歲大的孩子在內的共四人被殺。

Amnesty International is now calling on authorities in the Southern African country to take more action to punish the perpetrators.

國際特赦組織正在呼籲非洲南部的國家採取更多行動來懲罰兇手。

"The unprecedented wave of brutal attacks against people with albinism has created a climate of terror for this vulnerable group and their families who are living in a state of constant fear for their lives," Deprose Muchena, Amnesty International's director for Southern Africa, said in a statement. "The time has come for the government of Malawi to stop burying its head in the sand and pretending that this problem will just go away. Talking will not end these attacks. Concrete action is urgently required."

"這股前所未有的野蠻攻擊白化病患者的浪潮，爲生活在這個國家裏的弱勢羣體和他們的家庭製造了一種恐怖不安的氣氛，他們時刻爲生活下去而提心吊膽。" 國際特赦組織非洲南部主任德普羅斯·切納在一份聲明中說道，"現在時機成熟，馬拉維政府應當振作起來，不要再假裝這個問題會消失。光靠對話是不會結束這些攻擊的，我們迫切需要實際行動。"

The country has up to 10,000 people living with albinism and Malawi's Police Service says more than 60 crimes related to albinos have been reported since 2014.

馬拉維的白化病患者人數高達1萬人，據馬拉維警方稱，自2014年起與白化病患者相關的犯罪案件已經超過了60起。
