Rengma Welfare Society (RWS) has strongly condemned the recent incident involving the brutal assault, harassment, death threats and extortion of two Rengma youths in Manipur.
According to RWS president A Shyerhunlo Lorin, the incident occurred along the National Highway between Keithelmanbi and Sapermeina under Kangpokpi district.
Terming the act as a grave violation of human dignity, safety and basic rights, RWS said the victims were engaged in their lawful livelihood when they were attacked, which reflects a disturbing breakdown of law and order.
RWS urged the authorities to take immediate and firm action, ensuring strict legal punishment and strengthening security along vulnerable routes, particularly for civilians engaged in livelihood activities.
