Mr. Minani Cyriaque, 25 ans et personne atteinte d’albinisme, a été retrouvé sur la

emportée par les criminels. Les deux autres albinos de sexe masculin que compte la

préoccupations sont exprimées quant aux allégations concernant les circonstances de
la mort de Mr. Cyriaque ainsi que sur les menaces qui pèsent sur la vie des deux

Disappearances;
Summary
executions;
Allegations of continuing construction work on the site of a newly discovered mass
grave and the effects that this may have on an effective criminal and forensic
investigation, and the right to truth and justice. According to the information received,
on 25 December 2014, eight human skulls and skeletal remains were found in the
compound of the former Tombisana High School in Imphal Town, Manipur, during
the excavation works for a new complex on the school site. In the past, the school was
reportedly used by police forces engaged in counter-insurgency operations against
organizations fighting for Manipur’s political self-determination. Human rights
organizations reported cases of enforced disappearances in Manipur between 1980
and 2011. Although the remains have allegedly been handed over to the Central
Bureau of Investigation, the Manipur High Court reportedly failed to issue the
requested interim order that would halt the excavation works at the site.
