The protesters gathered at Uyumpok Mamang Leikai to express their opposition to the killings and draw attention to the urgent need for effective measures to prevent further attacks on innocent people.
The incidents have once again raised serious questions about the safety of civilians and the need for those responsible for the killings to be brought to justice in accordance with law.
