Chapter18 Mizoram I. Overview Ruled by the Mizo National Front, Mizoram’s Chief Minister Zoramthanga plays the role of a peace emissary with various armed opposition groups in the North East. Peace, however, has remained elusive in Mizoram. Twelve rounds of talks between the State government and Bru National Liberation Front (BNLF) have failed to resolve the Bru imbroglio. 1 Over 35,000 Reangs also known as the Brus who have taken shelter in Tripura since 1997 continued to languish in the relief camps.
INDIA HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2005 Mizoram The Myanmarese refugees who faced large-scale refoulement in 2003 constantly live under fear. The order of the National Human Rights Commission of 25 October 2004 pertaining to the complaint of the Asian Centre for Human Rights against the refoulement of the Myanmarese refugees has failed to stop the refoulement. Non-state organisations especially the Young Mizo Association, Mizo Zirlai Pawl and Mizo Students Union have been instrumental for the refoulement of the Myannmarese refugees. These non-State organisations continued to take law into their hands with regard to the “outsiders” - those who have allegedly entered Mizoram without valid Inner Line Permits (ILP) or continued to live after the expiry of the ILP. Ethnic minorities continue to be discriminated and demand for Union Territory (UT) by the Lai, Mara and Chakma UT Demand Committee surfaced. On 19 March 2004, the ruling MNF members turned down a private member bill on Right to Information and Transparency in Public Procurement Bill. 2 Though Mizoram government has made significant progress for codification of customary laws, women continued to suffer from traditional justice system. There has been increase of trafficking of women. 3 II. Atrocities by security forces There have been reports of human rights violations in Mizoram. On 13 July 2004, 16-year-old 176 Lalmuanpuia s/o C. Vanlalvena (vide GR No. 170/04,) was physically assaulted by Superintendent of Police for refusing to confess. He was slapped repeatedly that caused bleeding from the ears. The Superintendent of Police justified it by stating that the accused did not answer his questions properly and had stared at the Champhai District Magistrate. The victim was referred to ENT specialist at Aizawl hospital, from Civil Hospital of Champhai. 4 On the night of 24 October 2004, a 20year-old Mizo girl was allegedly assaulted and raped by two jawans of the Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS) at Vairengte village in Kolasib district. The YMA and Mizo Hmeichhe Insuikhawm Pawl alleged that the jawans waylaid the girl who was returning from a church service in the United Penticostal Church, Vairengte, along with two youth. After threatening and physically assaulting the two boys, the army jawans raped the girl. The army jawans also allegedly snatched and threw away the Bible she was carrying. 5 Although the authorities of the CIJWS denied the charge of rape, 6 later on, a jawan of the school was dismissed from service and another reprimanded for molesting the Mizo girl. A defence press release in Kolkata on 1 December 2004 stated: “Two soldiers, attached to the Counter-insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairengte, Mizoram, were identified as having committed the offence. While one has been dismissed from service, the other has been severely
