Protest at Jantar Mantar condemns violence against Kuki-Zo community

The Kuki Students’ Organisation on Saturday held a protest demonstration at Jantar Mantar here against the alleged violence, abductions and killings targeting the Kuki-Zo community in Manipur and other parts of the Northeast, according to a statement issued here.
The Delhi-NCR unit of the organisation alleged that members of the Kuki-Zo community were being targeted by cadres of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and its “proxy groups”, and accused the authorities of failing to take decisive action despite repeated incidents of violence. The protest was held following the killing of three Kuki-Zo church pastors on May 13, injuries to several others and the alleged abduction of 14 Kuki-Zo men, the statement said.
Students who gathered at the protest were seen holding placards reading: “Kidnapping civilians is a war crime”, “Justice before peace,” and “Stop ethnic violence.”
