Albinos, who lack the skin pigment melanin, stand out in Africa and are targeted by so-called witch doctors who use their body parts in rituals and potions that are supposed to bring good luck.
The government has tried to debunk the claims, and in June a judge issued a ban against what he called "witch doctors, traditional healers, charm sellers, fortune tellers and magicians," and ads for their services.
Malawi's albino association praised the ruling, but traditional healers said they would fight it, insisting they are not involved in magic or murder.
