DIMAPUR, MAY 15 (MExN): The Naga Hoho vehemently condemned the killing of an innocent Naga youth, Ento Nyiekha, by the Assam Police at Sangtamtilla river, Dimapur, bordering Assam on May 13 last.
A press release from the Hoho’s General Secretary Mutsikhoyo Yhobu stated, “Such act is a total violation of human rights, which the Assam police have been repeatedly committing against the Naga people.”
“The Naga Hoho time and again has been appealing both the state governments of Assam and Nagaland to intervene into the situation before it intensifies further,” the press note stated.
The Hoho appealed to the Assam government to refrain from killing innocent Naga public through its armed forces as it will “create more hatred among the two neighbouring States.”
The Hoho urged both the state governments to immediately intervene and act promptly so as to avoid further deterioration of the situation along the Assam-Nagaland border.
