It seems that the army has taken unwanted action. Why?

Dear recipient
 
 
 
Assam Watch(UK) wishes to file a distressing Human Rights violation report that has taken place at Kakopathar, Assam; today the 10 February 2006.
 
It has been reliably learnt that Indian security forces opened fire on a at least fifteen thousand unarmed demonstrators demonstrating on the National Highway 52 demanding punishment of the guilty officers and the withdrawal of the Army from the region after the murder of an innocent person Ajit Mahanta on the night of 5 February after he was picked up by Indian soldiers from his home.  
 
Indian security men used live bullets killing 10 persons, 3 of them are girls.
 
Assam Watch(UK) condemns this wanton killings on unarmed civilians expressing their democratic rights. We at Assam Watch(UK) perceive this as a wilful massacre by the Indian State, as safer method of crowd control which could be used, but, has not been applied in this instance, normally done in civilised democracies.
 
Assam Watch(UK) request all human rights organisations to voice appropriately against this savagery of the Indian authorities so that such violations are not repeated again.
 
We would also urge you to consider forwarding this alert call to all you contacts.
