Jelasin soal Perburuan penyihir dong

Perburuan penyihir atau pembersihan penyihir (bahasa Inggris: witch-hunt atau witch purge) adalah sebuah pencarian dan pembersihan orang-orang yang dicap sebagai penyihir atau pencarian bukti ilmu sihir. Zaman klasik dari perburuan penyihir di Eropa Modern Awal dan Kolonial Amerika terjadi pada masa Modern Awal atau sekitar 1450 sampai 1750. Periode ini bersamaan dengan terjadinya Reformasi dan Perang Tiga Puluh Tahun, yang menyebabkan sekitar 35.000 sampai 50.000 orang dieksekusi mati. Hukuman mati terakhir terhadap orang yang dituduh penyihir di Eropa terjadi pada abad ke-18. Di kawasan lainnya, seperti Afrika dan Asia, perburuan penyihir dilaporkan terjadi di Afrika sub-Sahara dan Papua Nugini. Undang-Undang yang menentang ilmu sihir masih ditemukan di Arab Saudi dan Kamerun sampai saat ini.
