Kangpokpi, June 9, 2026: Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills (KI-SH) has expressed deep concern over reports that the mortal remains of Haogin Lhouvum, who was allegedly killed by NSCN-IM Kamson group members on June 9, were not allowed to pass through Makui village while being transported for his final rites.
In a press release issued by Paojalal Hangshing, Assistant Secretary, Information and Publicity, Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills on Tuesday, KI-SH described the reported obstruction as a serious humanitarian concern, stating that denying passage to a deceased person's body causes additional suffering to grieving families and undermines respect for the dead.
The organisation emphasized that humanitarian values should be upheld regardless of political differences, ethnic tensions, or ongoing conflicts. It stated that compassion for bereaved families and respect for the deceased must never be compromised.
KI-SH noted that the Kuki-Zo community has consistently upheld humanitarian principles even during periods of conflict. As an example, it cited an earlier incident in which the mortal remains of a pastor were reportedly allowed safe passage through Kangpokpi district without disturbance before being taken to Daili village for burial.
The organisation said the reported denial of passage to Haogin Lhouvum’s body stands in contrast to such humanitarian practices. It called for clarification regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident and urged all concerned parties to ensure that humanitarian considerations are respected at all times.
“Even in situations of conflict, the dignity of the dead and the rights of grieving families must be protected,” the statement said, adding that humanitarian values should not become casualties of political or ethnic disputes.
