This happened. In 2013. #facepalm
Woman burned alive for sorcery in Papua New Guinea:
The woman, a mother aged 20 named as Kepari Leniata, was stripped, tied up and doused in petrol by the boy’s relatives in Mount Hagen in the Western Highlands, said the National newspaper.
She was then thrown onto a fire in front of hundreds of people.
Police and firefighters were unable to intervene, the paper said.
The Post Courier newspaper said they had been outnumbered by the crowd and chased away.
Apparently, the police aren’t armed there. WTF?!
Then there’s this gem:
Local Christian bishop David Piso told the National that sorcery-related killings were a growing problem, and urged the government “to come up with a law to stop such practice”.
Wow – “a law to stop such practice” – hmmm…. how about MURDER, you frickin’ savages.
But, yes, as multiculturalism teaches us: all cultures are equal. In that case, we are all barbarians.

I see this primitive culture is emulating the puritanical shenanigans of the New England witch-hunts in the late 17th century, but these gals don’t even get a hearing. Vigilantism mixed with some wacko paranoiac belief systems is certainly not a workable formula for the preservation of “human rights”. The “right to live” should be at the top of the priority list. I think “The Commission” would have some fertile ground to market itself in New Guinea, where there is a far better motive for its existence than pushing its weight around in the western cultures of twisted political correctness and obscene prosecution of law-abiding and conscientious citizens.
