India: Christians march with empty coffins

The march with empty coffins

Twenty thousand Christians marched through Manipur, India, holding empty coffins aloft to demand that the bodies of Christians who were allegedly killed by police forces in a gunfight were released.

Ten Kuki-Zo youths were allegedly killed in the incident by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Jiribam district, and their bodies are still in a morgue awaiting post-mortem results at the time of writing.

Many in attendance at the march, co-organised by three student groups, dressed in black to honour those killed in the gunfight, and it has been announced that the funerals for those killed will not take place until the post-mortem results have been released, reported the British Asian Christian Association.
