Dimapur: The Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) in an emergency meeting held on November 12 at Dimapur collectively deliberated on the issues and problems related to harassment of prominent citizens which it considers as a direct threat to the Human Rights movement and against the democratic principles of the Naga peoples’ struggle.
Informing of this, Nepuni Piku, the Secretary General of the NPMHR Secretariat said, “While appreciating the justification given by NSCN (IM) on the summoning of 7 individuals from Pfutsero for clarification, NPMHR expressed dismay over the manner in which the whole episode has been handled.” NPMHR has also stated that it considers the willful negligence of democratic norms in the form of relocating the public leaders including a church person into their custody under duress.
In this regard, the human rights organization has demanded the safe and immediate release of the concerned leaders.
NPMHR has further renewed its appeal to the public to creatively respond to the threat meted out to their rights with impartiality and in a non-violent ways which will avoid endangering the political process that has been on for resolving the long standing Indo-Naga conflict.
