Today's Rally in Moreh, demanding justice for the slain #kukiZo Pastors and the release of 14 individuals held hostages by UNC.
Unlike the slogan raises in #Imphal Rallies, 'Kuki tumna hat kadabani (Kill all Kukis)' ; here the slogan is "we don't want war".

Kharam Vaiphei Village, a peace-loving community that supplied fresh vegetables to Singda Kadangband during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now under attack. Homes have been burned. It is heartbreaking when acts of kindness and peace are repaid with violence. #Manipur
THE BIBLE COLLEGE STILL STANDS IN RUINS โ A SHAMEFUL ACT OF VIOLENCE
Imphal, Manipur
On May 4, 2023, Trulock Theological College located to the heart of Imphal city was reduced to ashes on what should have been a joyful graduation day.
As students and families gathered to celebrate, members of #ArambaiTenggol allegedly stormed the campus, looted valuables, and burned the entire seminary to the ground.
Today, the Bible college remains in ruins โ a painful symbol of hatred, destruction, and an attack on faith, education, and humanity itself. Such barbaric violence deserves the strongest condemnation and must never be forgotten.

The alleged abduction of 14 people in Manipurโs Senapati district has drawn attention after Young Pillars College Principal and MD Samuel Haokip stated that a 16-year-old student, Hengunsei Khongsai, is among those detained.
Haokip said Hengunsei had recently completed his Class 11 final exams, is a minor with a disability, and had lost both parents. He said the group had gone to earn daily wages and was on their way back to Taphou village when they were stopped near Mount Everest College in Senapati.
He alleged that members of the Senapati District Student Association (SDSA), along with police personnel present at the spot, were involved in the incident, and appealed for the release of all 14 individuals and an investigation into the matter.

Open threats and weapons displays by KachaNaga women militants against the Kuki community pose a serious risk to national security. @NIA_India, @HMOIndia, and @PMOIndia must act now to prevent further incitement of ethnic violence. @IndiaToday#NationalSecurity#MHA#PMO

A heartbreaking appeal from the families of the 14 Kuki men still in custody. Mothers, fathers, wives, and children are pleading not through politics, but through pain, fear, and hope for the safe return of their loved ones.
Among those held are students and innocent civilians from Taphou Kuki and Hengbung villages. The families state that they have no involvement in the conflict and are suffering physically and emotionally with each passing day.
Their appeal is simple: bring them home safely.

๐จ MANIPUR HOSTAGE CRISIS
Families of the 14 detained villagers, 13 from Taphou Kuki and 1 from Hengbung, have issued a heartbreaking plea for their immediate and safe release. Calling them innocent civilians with no role in the conflict, the families say every passing hour brings unbearable fear, trauma and suffering.

#WATCH | Churachandpur, Manipur | Young Pillars College Principal and MD, Samuel Haokip, says, "Among the 14 that were abducted, there's a boy named Hengunsei Khongsai, a student of Young Pillars College. He had just completed his class 11 final exams. Now, Hengunsei is still a minor. He's only 16 years of age. He also has a disability and he's essentially an orphan. His mother left him when he was a child and his father passed away this January. Now, his friends have started their class 12 a week ago. He could not come. He's still in Taphou village. He was in Taphou village to earn his fare money, just to come from his village to Lamka... I earnestly appeal to the government at the state and the centre, to all the security agencies and to all right-thinking community leaders across the region. Please put an end to this madness... Let us release all the hostages on all sides, including our boy, Hengunsei Khongsai... On the 14th of May, as I've been given to understand by his family members, Hengunsei Khongsai, along with his friends and village members were earning money as a daily wage labourer. On their way home to their village, they were stopped, in front of Mount Everest College, Senapati, where they were stopped by Senapati District Student Association (SDSA) members. There were also police members present there, security personnel. Instead of protecting Hengunsei Khongsai and his friends and his villagers, the security people have handed over these civilians into the hands of the SDSA... All involved parties, including the SDSA student leaders as well as the police personnel involved in that incident must be investigated and they must be held accountable for whatever happens to Hengunsei Khongsai and the abducted 14 members."
A wave of grief swept through #Manipur's #Kangpokpi on May 13 night as the mortal remains of three slain church leaders were brought to the District Hospital morgue, drawing thousands of mourners from across the #Kuki-Zo community.
The arrival of the bodies triggered large gatherings of community members, church leaders, civil society organisations and residents, who assembled to pay tribute to the deceased amid prayers, hymns and condolence gatherings. The #killings of the three church leaders have sparked widespread shock and anger across Kuki-Zo inhabited areas in Manipur.
