Imphal, June 26 2015 :
The All Manipur Women's Voluntary Association has strongly condemned the rapes and murders of two girls and one woman at Tamenglong, Heirok and Ukhrul in the past few days.
This was stated in a press release issued by KSH Sujata, general secretary.
In the past army personnel had raped and murdered several women and some arrested women could not be traced out since they were wired by the AFSPA which gives them blanket impunity.
It is unfortunate that today such crimes are taking place within us.
Such crimes against women will give ideas to the migrants who are rushing to Manipur on daily basis.
The men folk should treat the women as mothers, sisters.
At the same the organisation is exhorting the government to smoke out the criminals to give them exemplary punishment.
