Hundreds of churches burned. More than 60,000 people displaced. Over 200 people killed. This is the reality of India's Manipur state.
The violence began in May 2023 between the Meitei and Christian Kuki-Zo communities. While authorities describe it as an ethnic conflict, human rights groups argue that minority Christian communities have suffered disproportionately.
Reports indicate that hundreds of churches were destroyed or vandalized, nearly 8,000 homes were razed, and thousands of families remain displaced in relief camps.
We remain concerned by allegations that vulnerable communities were not adequately protected and call for accountability, justice, and the safe return of all displaced civilians.
