I urge that the extra judicial killings of the disappeared persons and the abduction of the activists should be stopped, Those who are involve in any crime or anti state activities should be produced before the law and should be punished instead of killing or abducting and keeping them in various torture cells. Those who are involve in extra judicial killings and abductions of the activists must be prosecuted.
