India: Stop the violence in Manipur - public statement open for signatures [june 2023]

STOP THE VIOLENCE IN MANIPUR

(Complete statement below)

TLDR: We are deeply concerned about the continuing ethnic violence in Manipur between the Meitei community and the tribal Kuki and Zo communities. Manipur is burning today in very large part due to the divisive politics played by the BJP and its Governments at the Centre and State. We demand an immediate halt to this continuing orgy of violence, there is a need, as soon as the violence ceases, for independent, non-partisan civil society members to visit the survivors and the bereaved; make attempts to verify reports of killings and rapes; and offer solidarity and all possible support to those traumatised by the loss of loved ones, homes and churches.
