"A landmark court conviction in Papua New Guinea related to the murder of a mother-of-five accused of sorcery is being hailed as a major victory in the fight to stop such attacks and murders. For the first time, a court has found a person guilty of accusing someone of sorcery under legislation, known as the Glasman Act, which was passed by the PNG Parliament in 2022. Belief in magic or the supernatural is used to explain misfortunes of various kinds in PNG, particularly death and sickness, with Sorcery Accusation Related Violence (SARV) unchecked throughout the country."
