Two women are paraded naked in the street ‘and gang-raped’ by mob sparking furious protests as Modi says attack has ‘shamed India’

…The two women are now safe in a refugee camp.

They are from the Kuki-Zo community, according to the Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum, a tribal organization in Manipur.

Ethnic violence in the state was sparked in May by an affirmative action controversy in which Christian Kukis protested a demand from the mostly Hindu Meiteis for a special status that would let them buy land in the hills populated by Kukis and other tribal groups and get a share of government jobs.

The clashes have persisted despite the army’s presence in Manipur, a state of 3.7 million people tucked in the mountains on India’s border with Myanmar that is now divided in two ethnic zones.
