Leo Igwe, Interviews and Photos
by Mal Vickers
I had the rare privilege of meeting Leo Igwe during the Melbourne stage of his speaking tour around Australia. Leo is one of my personal skeptical heroes.
There really is no easy or fun way to deal with the issue of witch hunting in Africa. It’s awful on every level. Mostly the targets are older women and young children. Being labelled a witch often means a death sentence if you’re the unlucky one. At the very least, you’ll become ostracised from your family and community.
Whilst being an outspoken skeptic here in Australia can be difficult (just ask Dr Ken Harvey), Leo has been beaten up and put in jail for speaking out against something we’d regard as a ridiculous and monstrous superstition. View More Leo Igwe, Interviews and Photos
