Kuki‑Zo women hold statewide sit‑in in Manipur demanding probe into civilian killings

Women belonging to the Kuki‑Zo community organized a coordinated sit‑in across multiple locations in Manipur, demanding a thorough investigation into a series of civilian killings reported in the state. The protest, described as peaceful, saw participants gather in public spaces, holding placards that called for accountability and swift action from the authorities. Community leaders urged the state government and security agencies to launch an independent probe and to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. The sit‑in reflects growing frustration among the Kuki‑Zo population over what they perceive as impunity for violence against civilians. Officials have not yet issued a formal response to the demands.
