The Papua New Guinea Law Society expressed how deeply appalled and horrified they were by the recent videos circulating on social media, showing women in Hela Province being tied, tortured, and executed at point-blank range, allegedly on accusations of sorcery. The Society expressed that these are not just crimes; they are acts of cold-blooded murder that strike at the heart of our shared humanity and the rule of law. “We raise our strongest possible condemnation of these barbaric and inhumane acts.” “It is unfathomable that in 2025, women in our country are still being targeted, tortured, and killed on the basis of superstition, fear, and lawlessness, and that such acts are being filmed and circulated with impunity.” The Society further expressed that what is more disturbing is the deafening silence from our elected leaders, including the Prime Minister, the Minister for Internal Security, the Governor for Hela Province, and Members of Parliament. The Society strongly stated that the silence of these leaders is unacceptable. These acts must not be ignored, normalized, or allowed to continue under a cloud of indifference. The Law Society demands immediate action: · A full-scale criminal investigation into the recent killings; · Arrest and prosecution of all perpetrators; · Protection and medical care for survivors; · A clear and public statement of condemnation from the Government and all Members of Parliament. “There is no place in our society for mob justice, gender-based violence, or sorcery-related killings.” The Constitution guarantees the right to life, protection from inhuman treatment, and equal protection under the law for all citizens, women included. “We call on all leaders, churches, civil society, and citizens to denounce these atrocities and work together to restore dignity, peace, and justice in our communities.” Enough is enough!
