Tanzanian President Magufuli pardons child rapists
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-42309501
Children's rights activists have condemned the pardon of two child rapists by the Tanzanian president.
Kate McAlpine, director of the Arusha-based Community for Children Rights, told the BBC she was "horrified but unsurprised". John Magufuli made the pardon in his independence day speech on Saturday.
Singer Nguza Viking, known as Babu Seya, and his son Johnson Nguza, known as Papii Kocha, were pardoned for raping 10 primary schoolgirls. The president selected a group of prisoners to be released, who he said had corrected their behaviour.
What about the justice for those girls? It's shocking that someone would pardon them no matter how much they've "corrected their behaviour", they should have to complete their sentences in full.
