Washington, July 24, 2023 (PPI-OT): The United States said it was deeply concerned by reports of viral videos showing two women paraded naked in India’s northeastern state of Manipur. A US State Department spokesperson called the incident “brutal” and “terrible” and said the United States conveyed its sympathies to the victims.
The assault was reported by the two Christian victims aged 21 and 19 in May by the Hindu majority tribe in the state. The United States encouraged a peaceful and inclusive resolution to the Manipur violence and urged authorities to respond to humanitarian needs while protecting all groups, homes and places of worship, the State Department spokesperson said.
