Compensation for Malawi Victims

Chairman George Chimasula Phiri of the National Compensation Tribunal of Malawi said $74,000,000 million US is needed to compensate 10,000 claimants.  Only 530,000 US dollars is allocated in their 1999/ 2000 budget.

"I wish we had more money handy for the tribunal to award more people….I do not see any possibility of paying all claimants within the next four to five years," he told reporters.

This committee was established in 1994 to compensate victims of atrocities committed by a former dictatorship.

Most victims were Jehovah's Witnesses, banned and banished for following the scriptural admonition of neutrality.  They lost their livelihood, property and possessions as a result.

The popularity of hypnotism in eastern Utah, United States of America is such that several performances are scheduled weekly. 
However, Jehovah's Witnesses have warned of its inherent dangers.

Roy Swingle, a brother in the Holladay Congregation, explained the Biblical view of hypnotism to the Deseret News: "It's something that's related to spiritualism," he said. "We've been warned against      letting others get into our minds."
