Kuki Human Rights Forum Demands Action Over Savage Killings

THE Kuki Human Rights Forum (KHRF) has issued a statement expressing profound horror and outrage over the brutal killing of Tinginlun Chongloi and Paoginlal Hangshing. According to the forum, the victims were chopped to pieces and stuffed into five sack bags by Naga terrorists, a monstrous act they state violates all tenets of human decency and international law.

Condemnation of Security Forces

In addition to condemning the murders, the KHRF strongly denounced the actions of security forces who unleashed indiscriminate aggression against peaceful protesters and Civil Society Organisation (CSO) leaders. When citizens gathered to mourn and protest the tragedy, security personnel responded by firing tear-gas shells, lathi-charging, and violently assaulting the crowd. The forum criticised the state apparatus for failing to protect Kuki-Zo lives while turning their force against grieving civilians and community leaders.

Key Demands Made by the Forum
The Kuki Human Rights Forum has put forward several urgent demands to the government:

Proxy War Clarification: The government must immediately clarify whether it is waging a covert proxy war against the Kuki-Zo people using NSCN-IM and Naga terrorist groups.

Immediate Justice: Swift, uncompromising legal action and capital punishment must be delivered to the perpetrators responsible for the brutal murders.

Disciplinary Action: High-level criminal and disciplinary proceedings must be initiated against the police and security personnel who attacked peaceful protesters and CSO leaders.

The forum concluded with a firm warning that the Kuki-Zo community will no longer submit quietly to state-sponsored oppression and terror. They have also called upon international human rights organisations and global institutions to intervene, hold authorities accountable, and secure immediate justice.
