Conduct an urgent fact finding mission at Kamjong
Imphal, 17th, March, 2020 .
Request the Government and MHRC to conduct an urgent fact finding mission at Kamjong District to access human rights impact assessment.
Youth’s Forum for Protection of Human Rights (YFPHR) is shocked to hear the news of recent violence which occurred yesterday at Kamjong District of Manipur in which nearly 150 houses were burnt leading to the displacement of many families. In such context women and children are most vulnerable.
We have a deep fear that such an act of arson of 150 houses is impossible without proper planning and we do fear that such an act was carried out under proper guidance and instruction by some vested people or institutions to fulfil their interest.
As a matter of Urgency we would like to appeal the Government of Manipur to provide proper relief materials, foods, water, medicines, cloths, etc for those who are internally displaced keeping particular focus on women and children.
And we would like to appeal the government to conduct thorough investigation at the earliest.
Further we would like to appeal the Manipur Human Rights Commission to kindly conduct a fact finding mission to assess the “Human Rights Impact Assessment” as to find out the root cause of the violence and to find out how the violence triggered and who are involved behind the scene.
