Imphal, August 12:
Referring to the numerous cases of atrocities committed by security force personnel deployed in Manipur People's Action Committee Against the Brutal Custodial Death of Km Th Manorama Devi, Bamon Kampu Mayai Leikai lamented that people of Manipur are killed after arrest.
Being a State of the much acclaimed democratic country the discriminatory attitude towards the people of Manipur who are eliminated after arrest rather than punishment after trial deserves explanation from the Indian leaders, asserted the Committee.
While the Central security forces are shielded by AFSPA it is ironic that people of Manipur are liable to be executed without proper trial, it added while highlighting that even hardened criminals as well as terrorists and tyrant figures are provided an opportunity to stand trial for their misconduct.
The Committee also questioned are Manipuris not citizens of the same democratic country and is the interpretation of fundamental right of the State people means that they could be killed by the security force at any given moment.
