A year ago, Dispatches told the story of how children in Africa's Niger Delta were being denounced by Christian pastors as witches and wizards, and then killed, tortured or abandoned by their own families. Following the introduction of the Child Rights legislation and an increase in financial support for a British charity providing a refuge for affected youngsters, the programme returns to find out what happened to some of the people featured in the first film.

Imagine...a world without religion...it would be beautiful.

@abizam All three of the Abraham religions are doomed to extinction. Even the Middle East is slowly becoming secularized. America would do much better as a nation if it could buck off the weight of right wing religion. I may never live to see it, but one of these days Islam's influence, along with Christianity's and Judaism's, will have it's spine broken by the world embracing reason and rational morality over superstition.

@JoyceJeffersonTV Same thing in the US, just less bad. Instead of witchcraft its "give us some donations, give me money, change the US laws"

That guy at the 6:00 mark needs to beaten within a moment of death, allowed to heal, then beaten again... over and over and over...

These "preachers" are using the word of God to manipulate and control good, vulnerable people. It's sick! They are NOT doing the work of God, but of Satan himself!
