Two men in Zambia have been handed two-year prison sentences with hard labour after being found guilty of plotting to assassinate the country's president through witchcraft.
The Zambian and Mozambican nationals were convicted last week under a colonial-era witchcraft statute. A court determined they possessed various charms, including a live chameleon, an animal tail, and a dozen bottles of concoctions. These items were reportedly intended to cast a fatal spell on President Hakainde Hichilema.
