Executive Summary
The Human to Humane Transcultural Centre for Torture and Trauma Victims (H2H) an independent humanitarian service of the Centre for Organisation Research and Education (CORE), India views the prevailing climate of impunity in Manipur leading to the perpetuation of the practice of torture and related trauma as leading to one of the worst forms of psychosocial anguish and deeply ingrained social anomie.
Furthermore, the administration of justice and efforts to understand and address the health and psychological needs of the victims and their families, in which the state plays no decisive and accountable role, has continued to be a far cry for decades.
This report, released on the occasion of the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, 26 June 2015, which contains data gathered over a period of one year by the centre, provides a background and context to the practice of torture by state and non-state agencies, organisations and entities.
The theme of this year’s affirmative commemoration all over the world is “Right to Rehabilitation”. The report expresses the anguish of the deep trauma and inter-related psychosocial consequences that victims and their families suffer and the efforts made by CORE and H2H to address them by providing rehabilitation services. Recommendations are made in the end that addresses the governments as well as non-state actors including civil society.
India Political Prisoners 
It’s a pity they didn’t include the MEA investigation into allegations of torture against a foreign national while illegally detained in Sajwa jail while performing joint satyagraha with Irom Sharmila Chanu for the repeal of the AFSPA. The reason given by local so called human rights activists was this was a personal matter. Who knows Manipur is a state of competing mafia families. Allegations by one family seem to be attacks on another family. Until the people of Manipur rise up against their corrupt masters nothing will change. Shakespeare argued if you want revolution first kill all the lawyers. Of Manipur he’d say expel all the NGOs
