The Human Rights International Federation has written to the Manipur Chief Minister, demanding immediate arrest of culprits involved in the brutal beheading of a Naga civilian and burning of Kamjong District Police Station.
The federation also set October 14 deadline for their arrest.
“We write with deep anguish regarding the video circulating on social media showing the brutal killing and alleged beheading of a Naga civilian in Manipur and the burning of Kamjong district Police Station. This is a grave crime and a direct assault on justice and the safety of the Citizen of Manipur,” the letter said.
“We demand immediate arrest and prosecution of all culprits involved., adequate protection for civilians and vulnerable villages, accountability for the arson and destruction in Kamjong district Police Station, and rstoration of peace,” it added.
If its demands are not met, the federation threatened to launch peaceful mass protests, sit-ins, and demonstrations to put pressure on the government.
The Joint Tribes Council (JTC), Manipur has served a 48-hour ultimatum for the government of Manipur for return of the severed head of the Naga man killed by suspected Kuki militants in Kangpokpi district.
