Imphal: NGO Human Rights Alert (HRA) has urged the Manipur Human Rights Commission (MHRC) to probe the alleged custodial death of two Myanmarese nationals during their stay at a temporary prison in Manipur’s Churachandpur district.
The two deceased, both women, identified as 46-year-old Ma Myint and 40-year-old Mukhai, died of COVID-19 due to the lack of proper medical care, said HRA in a letter to the chairperson of MHRC on Friday.
The two victims were among the 29 Myanmarese nationals, including six minors, who were arrested for entering India without proper documents and kept in judicial custody at Sadbhavna Mandap in New Lamka, Churachandpur district since March 31, 2021.
