Kidnapping and circumcision
There are periodic reports from African nations of kidnapping and circumcision.
For example, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) recently reported a case from Zambia. The BBC reported that 48 boys, ranging in age from 10 to 17 had been kidnapped and taken to a circumcision camp, from which they were rescued.[1]

Quote:The authorities said the site, on the outskirts of Livingstone town, near a national wildlife park, had been set up without permission — alleging the children were “caged” in unsanitary and dangerous conditions. Three of the rescued boys were briefly admitted to hospital — some for treatment from complications after undergoing circumcision typically done using razor blades.
