Press Release
The Adivasi Adhikar Rashtriya Manch (AARM) strongly condemns the brutal killing of eight adivasis, including three children, in Arasmetta village in Bastar district in Chattisgarh. This is nothing but a cold-blooded murder by a joint team of the CRPF, Chattisgarh armed force and the district force. Nothing can justify the killings, least of all bogus theories that the villagers who were killed in crossfire between Maoists and the security forces. It is shocking that the administration permitted the officials to be present at the time of the post mortem clearly to influence the report and conceal the truth that the Adivasis were shot at close range.
The AARM demands immediate action against the security force officials involved, including their prosecution on criminal charges of murder. It demands a high level impartial probe with a time bound mandate. The compensation announced by the government is highly inadequate and must be increased. The BJP state government must be held responsible and accountable for these killings.
The AARM calls upon all its units to organise protests against the killing.
