The All India Chakma Students’ Union (AICSU) has strongly condemned the massacre in Guimara, Khagrachari, Bangladesh, where the Bangladesh Army allegedly killed at least four indigenous Jumma people, injured over fifty, and set villages ablaze. The attack followed peaceful protests triggered by the gang rape of a 12-year-old Marma girl, with survivors reporting indiscriminate firing by army forces and arson by armed settlers. AICSU has submitted a memorandum to the Indian Prime Minister urging urgent diplomatic intervention, humanitarian aid, and international investigation into these atrocities, describing them as state-backed ethnic persecution and systematic genocide against the Jumma peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The memorandum calls for summoning the Bangladeshi envoy, downgrading diplomatic ties, and pressing for UN intervention to protect indigenous lives and ensure justice.
