Since July 4, law enforcement has prevented six people—three men and three women suspected of abductions—from becoming victims of mob violence in the capital. Police are raising awareness in neighborhoods. Alerts about alleged kidnappings have multiplied since July 4, and six suspects narrowly escaped lynching thanks to police intervention. Yesterday, in Tsaramasay, a man and woman accused of attempting to lure children with balloons were surrounded by an angry crowd. The man, beaten severely, was taken to hospital, while the woman was brought to the police station. Witnesses claim they possessed handkerchiefs, a syringe, perfume, and a firearm, but police have not confirmed these details, only stating that an investigation is underway. In Lazaina Avaradrano, a young seminarian was confronted Wednesday afternoon, suspected of chasing two children in a rice field. His acquaintances say he had returned to the neighborhood to visit a friend who had just given birth. "He did not flee despite the hostile crowd. His bag contained a rosary and money," they explain. He was taken to Avaradrano central police station for investigation. Tensions Four days ago, in Tsimbazaza, a woman suffering from psychiatric disorders was caught entering a house. The crowd wanted to kill her, but police arrested her before releasing her. In Ilanivato, on Saturday July 4, a man and woman, separately suspected of kidnapping children, nearly fell victim to mob justice. The man, seriously injured, was hospitalized. Both suspects were presented to the prosecutor and imprisoned—the woman in Antanimora and the man in Tsiafahy. In total, six people have been arrested in these cases: one was released due to psychiatric disorders, two were imprisoned, and three remain under investigation. Facing these tensions, the National Police are strengthening awareness campaigns to protect children and prevent violence. Parents are urged to closely supervise their children, escort them after school, prevent them from traveling alone, especially at night, and immediately report any suspicious behavior to authorities. The toll-free number 147 remains accessible throughout Madagascar.
