Ukhrul, July 21 2023:
Tangkhul Shanao Long (TSL) under the aegis of Naga Women Union organised a sit-in-protest cum solidarity meet against the crimes and ugly incidents during the ongoing ethnic clash in the State at Mini secretariat office complex compound Hamleikhong, Ukhrul.
During the solidarity meeting, president of Hunphun Shanao Long (HSL) Agnes Shaiza extended her deepest sympathy to the two victims who were paraded naked on May 4 in particular and all the other women who have been suffering silently due to the ethnic violence since May 3 .
Agnes further stated that the striping is robbing the modesty of a woman and is an unforgivable sin.
Such an inhuman and unruly act is a violation of human rights and is highly condemnable, Agnes said while demanding justice for the victims.
She also cited and recalled the recent incident of killing of Lucy Marem.
Killing someone else on the pretext of mistaken identity cannot be tolerated and is an irrational excuse, she said.
Demanding justice for the victims, the Tangkhul women protestors also raised various slogans in front of Ukhrul DC office gate.
Notably, 350 women folk wearing black clothes as a mark of protest and condemnation against the dehumanizing act of parading the women, attended the sit-in cum solidarity meet.
