Imphal, June 28 2013 : Committee on Human Rights (COHR), Manipur has pledged support to the demand for investigation into Songlong incident wherein six NSCN (K) cadres were reportedly gunned down by Assam Rifles troops.
COHR said that security forces have been meting out different forms of harassment and killings in the name of counter insurgency operation under the cover of AFSPA in Manipur.
It further added that it is known fact that many innocent youths are lured to take part in ‘stage managed surrender ceremonies’ and later they were gunned down in fake encounters.
COHR said that different civil society organisations have condemned the Songlung incident saying that the slain cadres went to 10 AR camp in civvies on the invitation of AR troops.
However, they were found dead wearing combat dress, the press release added.
It added that killing people in stage managed encounters is violation of domestic and international laws.
