Imphal, March 01 2012:
The meeting convened by NPMHR and NWU on March 19 which was attended by the Civil Society Organisations of Tahamzam (Senapati) reaffirmed its earlier demand for the unconditional release of Anthony Ningkhan Shimray, Head of Foreign Affairs, National Socialist Council of Nagalim, who was arrested on September 27, 2010 when he was on his way to attend the Indo-Naga Peace talk scheduled to be started from September 29, 2010 .
"We are concerned and agitated at the arrest and imprisonment of Anthony Ningkhan Shimray who is a key member of the Indo-Naga Peace negotiation team.
Such action is a clear violation of Ceasefire and serves as an deterrent to Peace," a joint statement issued by NPO, SKAWWA, SDWA, NPMHR, and NWU said.
