Amnesty International has called on Ghanaian authorities to sign the Anti-Witchcraft Accusations Bill into law. Passed in July 2023, the bill aims to protect those unjustly accused of witchcraft, a practice that has led to violence and death, including the 2020 lynching of 90-year-old Akua Denteh. The rights organization urges swift action to safeguard hundreds of victims and address root causes. A step toward justice and protection for the vulnerable.
