Imphal, June 03 2014:
Executive Director of Human Rights Alert (HRA) Babloo Loitongbam has appealed to all concerned to stop harassing the family members of Alice Kamei, the teenage girl who has reportedly joined an underground outfit some time back.
Talking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Babloo said that some Army personnel came to Nambol Ishok residence of Alice Kamei asking her whereabouts to her family members on the intervening night of April 6 and 7 this year.
Later on May 31 last month, a police team came to enquire about Alice at her residence, saying that she has come out from the underground camp.

Coming of security personnel to Alice's house to harass her parents is akin to encouraging Alice not to return from the militant outfit, Babloo said.
He also appealed to the armed groups not to recruit minors into their fold saying it is against the international law.
Any child below 15 years should not be in the armed groups, he added.
Alice's father Chakritombi Kamei said that all his family members are aggrieved at the parting of Alice, and in the midst of such grim situation, the security forces are constantly harassing them.
He appealed to the authorities concerned to stop harassing them in quest for her daughter who has left home some time back.
It may be recalled here that Alice Kamei was just 16 years old when she reportedly joined Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) on March 13, 2013 .
At that time the parents of Alice Kamei had filed a missing report to the police.
They also accused the underground outfit of abducting their daughter to join the militant organisation against her will.
