Three men were caught while committing an unspecified crime. Local residents took justice into their own hands – within moments, a crowd had gathered around them and stoned them to death.
Although street justice may sometimes seem like a quick and effective solution, it is actually a criminal act and a gross violation of human rights. Even the worst criminal has the right to a fair trial and punishment under the law. Never participate in a lynching and always choose the official route by calling the police.
