Condemns the rape of a 14 year old girl at Munirka
New Delhi, February 09 2014 *
NEFIS (North East Forum for International Solidarity) strongly condemns the brutal and gruesome rape of a 14 year old girl by the landlord’s son in Munirka. The victim has suffered fatal injuries and is now admitted in Safdarjung hospital.
Furthermore the police refused to file the FIR of the victim which led to a huge protest outside the Vasant Vihar police station. Due to pressure from NEFIS along with many other women’s’ and progressive student organizations the police had to relent finally and file the FIR.
The incidents of violence towards the people from the North East has increased rapidly over the past few years and it is high time that police and the administration takes cognizance of this growing menace and becomes proactive in the protection of the vulnerable sections of the society.
Otherwise these issues will snowball into nationwide protests and agitation. NEFIS calls for a protest in all the major cities of the North East to protest against the repeated violence towards the North East people and to express the anger and discontent of the North East people.
