Imphal, December 17, 2011:
Women Action for Development (WAD) strongly condemned the brutal killing of Soram Ibomcha, Chowkidar of Irilbung Water Supply Scheme, and his son Yaiphu by some unknown miscreants on December 16. A release issued by the body maintained that kidnapping, bomb attacks and custodial dead are the major threats faced by the innocent peoples of the State.
Mentioning this year's incidents of killing two pregnant women by their male counterparts, the body decried the Irilbung incident as crime against humanity which affects mostly women and children.
The statement also urged the State Govt to take initiative for those orphan children and widows who were affected by such killings.
Further, it appealed the State & Non State actors to stop such killings and respect human rights.
