📍 Jantar Mantar, New Delhi: Members of the Kuki-Zo community gathered to protest against the ghastly ambush and brutal murder of three pastors belonging to the Kuki-Zo community. The protesters appealed for the case Ambush & Murder case to be handed over to @NIA_India

Saloni Tony linked to the abduction of 23 Kukis,the law must act without fear or political silence.We call upon the Manipur Police and the NIA to conduct an immediate,impartial investigation and ensure accountability under the ConstitutionofIndia.No one shouldstand above the law

The Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) has now crossed every line. Kuki civilians are reportedly being held hostage for 3 days now. How does a student body get away with abducting civilians? FIR filed, Where are the hostages right now? Why is there no police action?

From terrorising women in Hengbung Kuki Village to orchestrating illegal abduction of Kuki civilians in Senapati, Mr Saloni Tony has built a disturbing record that warrants immediate investigation by @NIA_India& @CBIHeadquarters for his nexus and extraordinary link with NSCN-IM.

Churachandpur Erupts in Protest as Kuki Groups Demand Justice for Murdered Pastors, Submit 7-Point Memo to Centre *Songpi: May 16, 2026* Kuki civil society groups led by the Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights (KWOHR) staged a massive rally in Churachandpur on Friday, condemning the brutal killing of three Kuki pastors whose bodies were recovered between Kotzim and Kotlen in Kangpokpi district on May 14. The demonstration drew thousands from across the district, marking one of the largest public outcries since fresh violence erupted in Manipur’s hill areas this month. The rally began at 10:00 AM at Koite village ground, where church leaders, village chiefs, women’s organisations, student unions, and youth volunteers assembled before marching 4 km to the Wall of Remembrance in Tuibong. Protesters carried banners reading “Justice for the Three Pastors,” “Stop Targeted Killings,” “Respect Human Rights,” and “NSCN-IM, Stop Killing Innocents.” The procession remained peaceful but resolute, with slogans demanding immediate central intervention and accountability for what organisers called a targeted attack on faith and community identity. At Tuibong, KWOHR leaders submitted a seven-point memorandum to the Union Home Minister through the Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur. The charter demands re-imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur, a security review with enhanced deployment in Kuki areas, and a high-level, time-bound probe into the pastors’ murder and other alleged proxy violence against the Kuki people. It further seeks decisive action against ZUF-Kamson and NSCN-IM, whom KWOHR accused of orchestrating attacks on civilians. The memorandum also pressed for legal recognition of Village Guards formed by Kuki villages for self-protection, permanent security mechanisms in conflict-prone zones, and fulfilment of the long-standing demand for Separate Administration for the Kuki people under the Constitution of India. KWOHR argued that constitutional safeguards are now essential to guarantee peace, dignity, and coexistence after repeated failures to protect Kuki civilians. Addressing the gathering, KWOHR representatives said the killing of church pastors was not an isolated crime but an assault on the religious life and collective dignity of the Kuki community. “The Government of India must urgently intervene and take decisive steps to protect innocent lives, uphold justice, and safeguard the constitutional rights of the Kuki people,” the memorandum stated. The rally ended with a candlelight prayer service led by senior pastors, who prayed for the bereaved families and for an end to violence in Manipur. The three pastors were reportedly abducted while traveling through Kangpokpi earlier this week before their bodies were found near Kotzim and Kotlen, triggering widespread condemnation from Christian and human rights bodies across the Northeast. Friday’s protest follows a peace rally by Dimapur Christians on the same day, signalling growing regional pressure on New Delhi to act on the killings and the wider hostage crisis in the state.

#Delhi,#Churachandpur and #Kanggui📍 From Delhi to the hills of #Manipur, thousands gathered today in protest against the killing of the three pastors. Church leaders dedicated to prayer, service, and peace were ambushed and murdered in cold blood. The pain and anger among the people are deep,but so is the resolve to demand justice. No community should have to bury its spiritual leaders this way.

A humble public appeal -kindly share this message widely to reach as many people as possible. Let justice be served immediately with full accountability!! @HMOIndia @PMOIndia @manipur_police @NIA_India @cbic_india
