Don鈥檛 Buy Death

The hashtag trying to stop young Somalis from migrating abroad and the South African students accused of taking mob justice online.

Why Somalis are using a hashtag to try and persuade young people to not to take the dangerous journey to Europe. #DhimashoHaGadan, which translates as 鈥淒on鈥檛 buy death鈥, aims to counteract the positive pictures many emigrates post to social media, even though their new lives may not be as good as they seem.

We speak to the South African students who are publishing the names of alleged rapists online. They say it鈥檚 to make people take sexual assault seriously, but others have accused them of mob justice.

Plus, how three Indian students are using Carly Rae Jepsen鈥檚 Call Me Maybe to make a point about overbearing mothers-in-law.
