Shillong, July 21: The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), a conglomeration of Students organisation of the North Eastern States is appalled and shocked with disbelief on the recent video circulated in social media where two Vaiphei women were forcibly stripped, assaulted and made to parade naked in full public view in Manipur.
Such acts are outrageous, barbaric and inhumane which are unacceptable in a civilized society. The fact that these women have to endure the above ordeal and disgrace in the most despicable manner is enough to sent shivers down the spine of every right-thinking individual.
The NESO observes that in every conflict or riots, women and children are the most vulnerable and frequently preyed upon. Atrocities against helpless women and children including abusing their modesty and dignity at any time and even at war should never be condone and should be condemn by one and all. The NESO demands that all culprits involved in the senseless act should be arrested and stringent punishment should be meted out to them.
The NESO once again urged the different indigenous communities in Manipur and in the entire North East to maintain peace and brotherhood so as to further strengthen the age-old relationship that had been developed over the generations. Said Mr.Samuel B. Jyrwa Chairman of NESO and Mr. Mutsikhoyo Yhobu Secretary General, NESO.
