New Delhi: 17 February 2009
We express our heartfelt condolence for Mr. Thingnam Kishan Singh of Imphal, Manipur, who was kidnapped on 13 February and found murdered on 17 February. We share with the family members their pain and grievances befallen as a result of the murder.
Mr. Kishan was a bright student and had been practically active on democratic issues. He had been involved in Manipur Students' Association in 1990s and had worked with progressive organisations. He had taught at Shyamlal College (University of Delhi) and D.M. College in Manipur.
He had worked on the polemics of post colonialism for his doctoral research. He had presented papers in international seminars and publishes widely in several journals on several issues. He was the author of the book Rethinking Colonialsm, Worldview Publications, Delhi.
He was serving with the Manipur Civil Services when he was kidnapped and murdered. The state has lost, in his murder, a pragmatic officer who would have contributed in large scale towards development and peace in Manipur.
We appeal the Government of Manipur to conduct a transparent investigation into the murder, trace the culprits, arrest them and treat them according to law.
