Hundreds of protesters under the banner of the Kuki Students Organisation (KSO), Ukhrul District, staged a sit-in protest at Shangkai Village on Wednesday, demanding the immediate release of allegedly abducted Kuki-Zo civilians and implementation of the March 19 MoU. The protest, supported by the Kuki Women Union and other civil society groups, saw participation from students, village leaders and members of the public amid growing unrest in Manipur’s hill districts. KSO leaders accused authorities of administrative inaction and alleged that 14 Kuki-Zo civilians, including students, were abducted by SDSA and NSCN (IM). Addressing the gathering, KSO Ukhrul Vice-President Mercy said the protest was a stand against “injustice, silence, and suffering,” asserting that the Kuki-Zo people were demanding “justice, dignity, security, and rightful existence.” Protesters warned that continued silence and failure to address their demands could deepen mistrust and unrest in the already volatile region. 📍Ukhrul, Manipur #Manipur #KukiZo #Ukhrul #KSO #NortheastIndia

The Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) has accused the government and security agencies of “selective justice” and demanded the immediate arrest of those involved in the killing of Kuki-Zo church leaders, along with the safe release of alleged hostages. In a strongly worded statement, KIM also opposed ongoing combing operations in Kuki-Zo inhabited areas, claiming the actions have increased fear and insecurity among civilians instead of targeting the actual perpetrators. KIM warned that any further “unjustified” security operations in Kuki-Zo areas would face strong opposition until their demands are addressed. The statement comes amid rising tensions and continued protests by Kuki-Zo women against security operations across parts of Kangpokpi district. #Manipur #KukiZo #KIM #Kangpokpi #SecurityOperations

#WATCH | Churachandpur, Manipur | Young Pillars College Principal and MD, Samuel Haokip, says, "Among the 14 that were abducted, there's a boy named Hengunsei Khongsai, a student of Young Pillars College. He had just completed his class 11 final exams. Now, Hengunsei is still a minor. He's only 16 years of age. He also has a disability and he's essentially an orphan. His mother left him when he was a child and his father passed away this January. Now, his friends have started their class 12 a week ago. He could not come. He's still in Taphou village. He was in Taphou village to earn his fare money, just to come from his village to Lamka... I earnestly appeal to the government at the state and the centre, to all the security agencies and to all right-thinking community leaders across the region. Please put an end to this madness... Let us release all the hostages on all sides, including our boy, Hengunsei Khongsai... On the 14th of May, as I've been given to understand by his family members, Hengunsei Khongsai, along with his friends and village members were earning money as a daily wage labourer. On their way home to their village, they were stopped, in front of Mount Everest College, Senapati, where they were stopped by Senapati District Student Association (SDSA) members. There were also police members present there, security personnel. Instead of protecting Hengunsei Khongsai and his friends and his villagers, the security people have handed over these civilians into the hands of the SDSA... All involved parties, including the SDSA student leaders as well as the police personnel involved in that incident must be investigated and they must be held accountable for whatever happens to Hengunsei Khongsai and the abducted 14 members."

The alleged abduction of 14 people in Manipur’s Senapati district has drawn attention after Young Pillars College Principal and MD Samuel Haokip stated that a 16-year-old student, Hengunsei Khongsai, is among those detained. Haokip said Hengunsei had recently completed his Class 11 final exams, is a minor with a disability, and had lost both parents. He said the group had gone to earn daily wages and was on their way back to Taphou village when they were stopped near Mount Everest College in Senapati. He alleged that members of the Senapati District Student Association (SDSA), along with police personnel present at the spot, were involved in the incident, and appealed for the release of all 14 individuals and an investigation into the matter. #Manipur #Senapati #HengunseiKhongsai #YoungPillarsCollege #HumanRights #NortheastIndia #BreakingNews

Residents of Thadou Kuki Village staged a peaceful sit-in protest demanding the immediate and safe release of villagers allegedly abducted in broad daylight despite the presence of state and central security forces. The protest comes amid escalating tensions in Manipur following a deadly militant ambush in Kangpokpi district on May 13, where at least three people were killed and several others injured after armed assailants attacked two vehicles carrying church leaders between Kotzim and Kotlen villages in Kangpokpi district. #Manipur #Kangpokpi #KukiVillage #ManipurViolence #BreakingNews #peaceinmanipur

The so-called Thadou Inpi Manipur, TSA, and TCI were allegedly created and backed by Lamjathang with the support of Biren Singh. They do not represent the Thadou tribe. The Thadou Inpi GHQ remains the legitimate apex body of the Thadou people.

🚨 PRESS RELEASE : Thadou Inpi GHQ and United Baptist Churches Council 🎯Thadou Inpi GHQ : The Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) , Thadou Community International(TCI), Thadou Students' Association GHQ( TSA GHQ) , all established by Michael Lamjathang for his personal benefit WILL BE TREATED AS UNLAWFUL AND ILLEGITIMATE as per provisions of the Thadou Inpi GHQ Constitution. 🎯 United Baptist Churches Council - The UBCC neither endorses nor rejects any particular nomenclature as it is an organisation dedicated solely to the service of God. ‼️Those aiming to sow seeds of doubt and division amongst brethren using their vague knowledge of nomenclatures should instead worry about the visible cracks plaguing their communities. #tangkhulpastorkillers #meiteiterrorists #manipur

16yr Hengunsei Khongsai,38% physically disabled Kuki orphan, was allegedly abducted by NSCN-IM militants on 13 May 2026 while doing daily wage work. He remains among the 14 missing hostages. Urgent appeal to GoI, security agencies to rescue all hostages immediately.@narendramodi

𝐒𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥 𝐏𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 By NSCN-IM⁉️ Pakho Sitlhou gave his life to bringing the Gospel to the remote Zeliangrong people, becoming one of the first missionaries to introduce Christianity to the community. Through immense sacrifice, he translated the Bible into the Zeliangrong dialect so people could know Christ in their own language and culture. Rev. V. Sitlhou, son of the late missionary, was brutally killed in the deadly Kangpokpi ambush — a tragedy that has shaken churches across the Northeast. The murder of a family that symbolized faith, sacrifice, and service has left the Christian community heartbroken and outraged, exposing once again the painful violence haunting Manipur. #ChristianCommunity #NortheastNews #BreakingNews #ChurchLeaders #NorthEastPublish @ChristianEmerg1 @NIA_India @livechristian1 @UN @UNHumanRights @BBCNews @BBCNews @churchtalkative @PMOIndia @HMOIndia

If other Manipur incidents can be handed over to NIA, why not the Thowai Kuki and Kotlen-Kotzim cases where 3 Kuki Pastors were murdered? Equal justice and a fair, impartial investigation must prevail. #Justice #Manipur @NIA_India @adgpi @narendramodi @rashtrapatibhvn
