India: Authorities ‘missing-in-action’ amid ongoing violence and impunity in Manipur state – New testimonies

16 Jul 2024

  • Impunity of vigilante groups
  • Police failing victims of communal violence
  • Journalists, activists, influencers silenced through attacks and trumped-up charges
  • Relief camps in dire need of support
More than four hundred days since the start of ethnic violence between the dominant Meitei community and the minority Kuki and other tribal hill communities, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Indian government and Manipur state government have utterly failed to end the violence and displacement and protect human rights in the state, said Amnesty International. Since 3 May 2023, at least 200 people have been killed and more than 60,000 displaced, while homes, business, villages and places of worship have been burnt down, attacked, looted and vandalised. Authorities have continued to crackdown on those who have dared to speak out against this.
