Boy Beaten Beyond Recognition After He Was Caught Stealing plantain. Graphic Photo

Is there any justification for mob action? This young man was brutally beaten to pulp after being caught stealing plantain to feed his family. The boy was first stripped totally unclad, tied to a pole before he was beaten mercilessly with different kinds of weapons the crowd could lay their hands on.

Judging from his state in the picture, one can't begin to imagine the kind of mass beating he received. The exact location of this jungle justice was not revealed.
