Human Rights Watch has also emphasized the need to protect civilians and prevent further attacks against ethnic communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The renewed violence comes after years of tensions and displacement in Manipur. Communities affected by conflict continue to face serious risks to their security, freedom of movement and access to basic services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Human Rights Watch said authorities should ensure accountability for abuses and work toward restoring trust between affected communities rather than allowing perpetrators to act with impunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The organization\u2019s latest intervention places renewed international attention on the human-rights situation in Manipur and the need for durable measures to protect civilians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Support Appeal:<\/strong><br \/>\nSupport the <strong>World\u2019s No.1 dedicated Human Rights News Agency \u2013 HRNW<\/strong> in reporting human-rights crises, protecting vulnerable communities and bringing independent rights journalism to a global audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrnww.com\/?page_id=1083&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Support HRNW \u2013 World&#8217;s No.1 dedicated Human Rights News Agency<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis article is based on information released by Human Rights Watch and other publicly available sources.
