Court finds South African farmers guilty
Two white South African farmers, charged with attempted murder, have been found guilty.
Two white farmers accused of assaulting and threatening to burn a man alive after forcing him into a coffin have been found guilty of attempted murder. 麻豆社 correspondent Nomsa Maseko was in court to hear the verdict.
Plus, Facebook has been criticised by the International Organization for Migration following reports of migrants being abused and tortured by people smugglers, who then send video clips to their victims' families via Facebook and WhatsApp to extort money.
