Ms. Manneh and members maintained that eating primate parts conforms with their religious beliefs. Doing so imbues them with the cunning and agile animal’s spiritual power while also helping them “get closer to God.”

Closing the curtain on a four-year saga that raised issues of freedom of religion and freedom of speech, a West Brighton woman was sentenced today to three years’ probation for smuggling illegal monkey parts. Manneh’s lawyers argued that she and other African immigrants on Staten Island needed the meat for religious reasons.
