People's Forum, Ukhrul; Zingtun Tangkhul Katamnao Long (ZTKL); Ukhrul District Alliance for Child Rights (UDACR); Naga People's Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR); Action of Women in Development (AWID); Grace Ministry; Women Bread Winners' Union and Participatory Action for Sustainable Development Organisation (PASDO) condemned kidnapping and detention of Alice Kamei, brutal killing of N Satyabhama and rape and attempted murder of a housewife in Ukhrul on April 4 last.
A joint meeting of the bodies today also appealed all concerned to join hands in freeing themselves from the rule of vicious circle, said a joint statement issued by the bodies today.
"The spate of violence and crime taking place in the State almost every day gives the impression that the civil society is engulfed by vicious circle and we people are left helpless.
It is very unfortunate that in spite of public outcry, violence and crime against girls/ women keep going on in the state without respite." the statement noted.
Appealing all right thinking people to condemn such acts, the Ukhrul bodies also strongly urged the State Government to take action for safe the release of Alice Kamei at the earliest.
The bodies also demanded the State Government to book the killer of N Satyabhama and the culprit of rape and attempted murder of a housewife at Ukhrul and award befitting punishment.
