The main opposition leader in Seychelles, Patrick Herminie, has been charged with witchcraft, along with seven others.
Police say the case is related to the discovery of two bodies exhumed from a cemetery on the island of Mahé.
He has denied the charges, telling local media that his prosecution is a “political show” to taint his image.
Mr Herminie plans to run in the 2025 presidential election under the banner of the United Seychelles Party (USP).
