DIMAPUR, MARCH 10 (MExN): The NSCN (R) today alleged that the Khehoi Designated Camp of the GPRN/NSCN “is being used as ‘concentration camp’ for NSCN/GPRN-Reformation workers.”
A press note from the MIP of the NSCN (R) claimed that “almost thirty seven (37) Naga Armies arrested in Dimapur and Kohima” and kept in custody by the GPRN/NSCN.

It said that these “act of NSCN-Unification cadres in Khehoi camp totally violates human rights and deserve strong condemnation.”
“Some of the perpetrators have been identified and the NSCN/GPRN-Reformation will take it as individual issue who will be paid with same coin what so ever,” the NSCN (R) stated.
The NSCN (R) asserted that it “will seek the Naga solution based on the political and historical rights of the Nagas but it believes unity before any single step is taken.” While affirming to stand for Naga unity and reconciliation, the NSCN (R) however stated that it cannot “just leave perpetrators unpunished.”
