Imphal, July 20: The people of Kangpokpi district under the aegis of CoTU held a sit-in protest on Thursday at Leikop village in Champhai sub division of Kangpokpi district against the shocking act of molestation and gang-rape of the Kuki-Zo women.
A horrific video of Kuki-Zo women being paraded naked, and repeatedly being molested and assaulted, which went viral on Wednesday, has shocked the entire nation and the whole world beyond expression.
The people of Kangpokpi, mostly women, held a sit-in-protest under the aegis of CoTU condemning the incident and slamming the gross constitutional violations and infractions of human rights.
The sit-in-protest was also held to demand from the Central Government to expedite the process of a “Separate Administration” during the Kuki-Zo political talks, to be held on July 26 with the UPF and KNO.
They also held placards that read, “Punishment for Rape should be nothing but death”, “Rapists are nothing but monsters in a human face”, “the world’s most horrible crime committed against women”, “Barbaric acts never witness before”, “Worse than a Vietnam War”, “Address the Kuki-Zo problems”, “No Solution, No Rest”, among others.
The CoTU also submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister Amit Shah through Deputy Commissioner Kangpokpi later in the afternoon.
