Kohima: The Western Naga Youth Front (WNYF) has expressed deep anguish and outrage over the alleged rape and murder of a woman from the Zeliangrong community in Pimla village under Chümoukedima District.
In a statement issued on April 8, the organisation, through its convenor, Aga Rengma, described the incident as a “brutal and inhuman crime” and strongly condemned it as a grave assault on human dignity.
The WNYF stated that such despicable acts have no place in any civilized society and called the suspected crime a direct attack on fundamental values and human decency. Expressing solidarity with the bereaved family and the Zeliangrong community, the organisation conveyed that while no words could heal the pain of such a loss, it stood firmly with the victim’s family in the pursuit of justice.
The youth body urged law enforcement authorities to take immediate and serious action. It called for an impartial and thorough investigation and demanded that those responsible be arrested and brought to justice without delay.
Further, the group appealed to all Naga communities and civil society organisations to unite in condemning the crime and to collectively reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding the rights and safety of women, children, and all innocent lives.
In its message, the WNYF also offered prayers for strength and comfort to the grieving family and expressed hope that justice would prevail without compromise.
