People should remember that it’s easy for the authorities to check whether or not someone stole your genitals. Police in Zanzibar have arrested 10 people in connection with a wave of mass panic over false claims that strangers were stealing men’s genitals through touch, a phenomenon that sparked mob violence and attacks on innocent bystanders. The Regional Police Commander said the arrests were made between April 4th and 9th after a series of incidents in which men alleged their genitals had mysteriously disappeared after being touched by strangers in public places, including on commuter buses and at a market.
