Subject: Strongly condemned on Human Rights Violation and Religious Persecution against the innocent Indigenous Chakma and Mog communities in Mizoram on the Eva of Chakma New Years on 15th April 2006.
Dear Sir,
The United Jumma International (UJI) is concerned about the arbitrary killing to Mr. Gubalya Chakma(47) s/o late Lakhi Chandra Chakma and 6 others seriously injured in indiscrinate firing by the Border Security Force(BSF) personnel led by Commander Mr U.S. Mehta at Bhulanchuri village in Lunglei district of Mizoram near the International Border in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh on 15th April 2006.
On 15th April 2006, an Eva of theWorld Chakma New Year Celebration Day, a Buddhist Monk named Ven. Gyana Tissa Bhikkhu was going to deliver religous sermon to a devotee house. On the way, he met Mr. U.S. Metha, Commander of BSF and his personnel coming from Kojoisuri camp by jeep. When they show him, stoped their jeep and manhandled the Buddhist monk and asked unnecessary question like whether he is Bangladeshi ? ate beef ? and so on. Later on, they tried to pull off his robe. The monk was alone and became helpless and than he shouted for help.When the villagers heard his voice ,they gather to assist their highly respected religous teacher. The villagers had summon the Village Council President(VCP) to justify the unsual behaviour of BSF. Before arrival of the VCP on the spot, another group of BSF personnel came from Kojoisuri camp and started lathi charge, beating, firing upon unarmed innocent Chakmas and Mogs without inquiring the real fact. In that incident, Mr. Gubalya Chakma was spot dead by Security personnel bullet at the belly and forehead. The 6 other namely (1) Mr. Juddo Moni Chakma(25) s/o Brihat Nala Chakma;(2) Bijay Kanti Chakma (23) s/o late Hama Nanda Chakma; (3) Lakhi Kumar Chakma (24) s/o late Juddo Chandra Chakma;(4) Amar Singh Chakma (35) s/o late Sarat Chandra Chakma;(5) Satya Priyo (29) s/o Tarono Mohan Chakma; (6) and Mr Eganya Chakma(51) s/o late Ugurikya Chakma have received life-threatening injuries and later transferred to Lunglei Civil Hospital. On 9th May'2006, Mr Bijay Kanti Chakma has been transfered to Guhati Medical College with serious condition.
The UJI concerned that such arbitrary killing to Mr. Gubalya Chakma an unarmed innocent civilian is a crime under the UN criminal laws, must not be justified any circumstances.
The UJI urged that NHRC to proper investigation and a judicial probe into the incident; to provide free treatment to the injured and compensation of Rs. 10,00,00(ten lakhs) to the next to kin of the deceased, Rs. 3,00,000 (three lakhs) each to the serious injured, Rs. 50,000 (fifty thousands) to the minor injured and take stern action against the Mr. U.S.Mehta and his personnel who involved in the firing.
The UJI also urged stop Religious Persecution and Human Rights abuses against the Indigenous Communities and Religious minorities in India.
Yours Sincerely,
