Seychelles opposition leader denies witchcraft charges

from Focus on Africa · host BBC World Service

The main opposition leader in Seychelles, Patrick Herminie, is one of eight people charged with witchcraft, following the exhumation of two bodies. They deny the charges, with Mr Herminie calling the prosecution a "political show" intended to taint his image. Meanwhile, we examine the arrest of Tunisian opposition politician Abir Moussi, and look at why another opposition leader from the country, Rached Ghannouchi, is on hunger strike.And why the price tag for conserving the king of beasts, the African lion, could be a staggering $3 billion per year.
