Al Jazeera English: "At least 45 people have been killed across Haiti due to accusations that they are using 'black magic' to spread cholera, the director of a Voodoo association says.
Max Beauvoir, a voodoo priest, said on Friday most of the killings happened in the southern coastal town of Jeremie, where people were being lynched, set on fire and attacked with machetes.
The priest also reported killings in Cap Haitien and the Central Plateau.
'They [victims] are being blamed for using voodoo to contaminate people with cholera,' Beauvoir said. 'My call is to the authorities so they can assume their responsibilities.'"
