Imphal, February 05 2025: Vehemently condemning the killing of a "village volunteer" at Salungpham by security forces, Sejam Chirang Meira Paibis staged a protest demonstration at Chirang Community Hall today.

Apart from condemning the killing of the village volunteer, the protesters demanded unconditional and immediate release of all the village volunteers arrested by police and complete repeal of AFSPA 1958 from Manipur.

Speaking to media persons, Senjam Chirang Meira Paibigi secretary Heikham Ambrabati denounced the Government's handling of the prolonged conflict which has been going on for more than 20 months.

Questioning the logic of pulling up village volunteers who were only defending innocent and helpless villagers, she said, "The Government needs to understand the circumstances which compelled the youths who should be going to schools and colleges to take up arms".

Ambrabati also urged the Government to take strong action against all the police personnel involved in the killing and release the six village volunteers without any condition at the earliest.
