NHRC takes up Manipur abduction, gang-rape case, issues notice

The Hindu  

Two and a half months after the ethnic conflict in Manipur began on May 3, the National Human Rights Commission of India issued its first public statement about human rights violations in the State on Thursday. However, over the last two and a half months, the Commission has, in public statements and social media posts, highlighted action it had taken with respect to allegations of human rights violations in States such as West Bengal, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra; suicides in prisons; lack of internal complaints committees in sports federations; and increase in online circulation of Child Sexual Abuse Material. While at least one more complaint filed before the NHRC has been tagged with the case it is already looking into, another complaint filed about the burning and destroying of homes in Twichin village of Kangpokpi district was transferred to the State Human Rights Commission. Since May 1, the Commission took suo motu cognisance in 37 cases, none of them pertaining to the ethnic conflict in Manipur, until July 20, when it took cognisance of the complaints it had received.
