Mozambique is plagued by trafficking in human organs and witchcraft is to blame, a religious sister working in the country has said.
Efforts to help refugees who are targeted in attempts to harvest organs are hampered due to cultural fears of confronting those who engage in such practices, said Scalabrinian Sister Marines Biasibetti, secretary general of the Commission for Migrants, Refugees and Displaced Persons of the Mozambique bishops' conference.
"Even in the Church, religious men and women, priests and local bishops do not speak about it out of fear of what may happen to them," Sister Biasibetti told Catholic News Service.
