Third break in at human rights office in Kohima, Nagaland State, deplored and strongly questioned
For the third time in 9 months it was reported that burglars ransacked the office of the Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights. On December 14 unidentified thieves broke locks and doors, forged and damaged drawers and lockers and left files and papers strewn on the floor. Personal belongings and break-in tools were found on the floor, leaving lots of clues for the police to investigate and to apprehand the culprits.
A human rights organization itself with strong affiliation to the Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights the Naga International Support Center wonders openly what burglaring Human Rights Offices mean? More so when responsible authorities, both on State and National level, sit idly and let this affront to Human Rights pass as if unnoticed.
Files on Human Rights abuses in a land under siege for over half a century have repeatedly been taken, yet nothing thus far has been done to determine who is responsble for such acts of contempt for the rights of the Naga Peoples. Having lived in isolation for over 50 years these crimes against the Naga people should not go unnoticed.
The Naga International Support Center thus strongle urges both the government of Nagaland State and the Government of India to thoroughly investigate this third break-in within a year and to arrest the criminals. Also to find out who is behind
