several months ago the isolated tribe on North Sentinel island killed a US
missionary after he tried to travel to their island to convert them to
Christianity the incident caused an uproar on social media and some were
wondering what would happen to the tribe after they committed murder well there's
a new official update on this whole situation and I'm gonna fill you in
right now on IO what is happening friends this is an important movie load
the news channel for people who hate the news I am Charlotte Dover a hit that
subscribe for daily news videos that you'll actually find interesting and
follow the IO team on Instagram right now I'm gonna give you an update on one
of the biggest stories of 2018 I'm pretty familiar with it because I've
done a bunch of videos on it but if you haven't heard by now back in November of
2018 a US missionary 26 year old John Allen Chow made international news after
he traveled to North Sentinel island in the Bay of Bengal he was killed by the
isolated tribe that lives on the island which is something that normally happens
if anyone visits them that is why it's illegal to go there but also because the
tribe has not come into contact with outside diseases and any contact with
the tribe from outsiders could wipe them out if you haven't seen our previous
coverage on the North Sentinelese I highly recommend you watch the video
that's currently clickable on your screen so now everybody was kind of
wondering what is gonna happen to the tribe is there gonna be any legal action
taken against them for killing somebody well it's official the tribe will not I
repeat will not face murder charges according to the American ambassador for
international religious freedoms the US will not be pressing charges against the
tribe at a press conference in February they said the United States government
has not asked or pursued any sort of sanctions that would go against the
tribal people in this case he added it's a tragic situation in a tragic case of
what's happened but that's not something that's been asked I mean listen that
kind of makes sense even though his intentions might have been in the right
place John Allen chow broke the law by going to North Sentinel island he knew
this was breaking the law and risking his life we know this because he wrote
about it in his journal he was taken there illegally by fishermen John Allen
chow had visited the in the past according to his journal he
greeted the tribe and attempted to offer them gifts but ended up retreating in
his canoe on other visits the tribe reacted to child with a mixture of
amusement bewilderment and hostility he described an interaction where John
tried to sing worship songs to them and they fell silent
other times the tribe would laugh in his face when John tried to communicate with
them then during his final visit on November 17th
John Alan Chow told the fishermen to leave without him and later they saw the
North's antenna Lee's dragging his body across the sand the next day John Alan
Chows lifeless body was lying on the beach the Indian authorities said a week
after John Allen child's death if they had no plans to retrieve his body from
the island because they were afraid that their presence would antagonize the
tribe further I will also add that the tribe doesn't really have any laws they
have no idea what kind of social structures the outside world has no one
has ever told them that they can't commit murder they most likely killed
John Allen Chow because they were afraid of him as they're afraid of all
outsiders if you guys want more info on why the North Sentinel tribe hates the
world click the video that's currently
flashing on your screen even John Allen Chows father had something to say about
his son's death and he blames extreme Christianity dr. Patrick Chow told the
Guardian if you have anything positive to say about religion I wish not to see
it here well guys case closed I guess let me know your thoughts down there in
