Shillong: Naga People’s Movement on Human Rights (NPMHR) in a press statement on Tuesday expressed its solidarity for human rights activist Agnes Kharshiing and her colleague Amita Sangma, who were brutally assaulted on November 8, at Tuber Sohshrieh in East Jaintia Hills district, Meghalaya in their mission against illegal coal mining.
The group wished them speedy recovery to further the cause of the people.
It also urged the Government of Meghalaya to uphold justice and confer just penalty to the culprits where such delivery must serve as a deterrent to similar illegal mining activities sprouting all over North East where the governments are unable to raise even a “voice of concern”. Activists such as Agnes Kharshiing and their likes face the brunt of mining mafias who collaborate with political powers , the press statement further stated.
