All Zeliangrong Students' Union (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland) and Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZSUM) have condemned the alleged high-handedness and bestial act committed by some NSCN (I-M) cadres at Leishok (Sobunglong) on innocent civilians including women and children without proper reason last night.
In a joint statement, Assistant General Secretary of AZSU (AMN) Nicodemus Riamei and Chairman of ZSUM D Stephen Zeme informed that the women and children were held hostages and eight other innocent civilians including the Chairman of the Village Authority Kadunchung Gonmei, Secretary Poudinchung Kamei and ex-Member Lungaipou Gonmei were assaulted blue and black.
The joint statement also identified the remaining five victims as Kadingampou Gonmei, Poungamlung Gonmei, Kaphiangmpou Gonmei, Gairipou Kamei and Maliakngam Kamei.
Denouncing the unwarranted detention and assault of the villagers as violation of their rights, the joint statement questioned the motive behind the bestial act of the NSCN (IM) cadres.
It also appealed to all the organizations to restrain from repeating such acts in future.
