On Friday, the United Nations Human Rights office said it was “alarmed” by threats to human rights defender Babloo Loitongbam by extremist Meitei groups Meitei Leepun & Arambai Tengol groups.
In a post on X, UN Human Rights urged Indian authorities to protect Loitongbam “his family & home, & hold perpetrators accountable.” The post by the UN watchdog got a mixed reaction on social media.
Manipur has been marred by ethnic violence between the Meiteis and the Kukis since May 3, killing at least 200 people.
