Dimapur, March 18 (EMN): The Council of Nagalim Churches has informed in a statement that it has decided at its executive and staff meeting held on March 13 to conduct a ‘special prayer moment’ for the political prisoners of Naga freedom movement during Sunday worship service on March 24.
“It is learned that many national workers and innocent civilians have been languishing in prisons for years. Some are in a very pathetic and miserable condition. Unfortunately, many had been found missing without reaching judicial custody. Many family members are in agony in thought of their loved ones who had been missing since then. There is no hope of seeing them again,” read the statement from CNC General Secretary Rev. Seksim Kasar.
Informing that some are still grieving as their loved ones are in the prisons of foreign lands, Kasar wrote: “In such time of helplessness and miseries, we are to turn to God as per the teaching of the Bible -“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” (Heb 13:3NIV).”
“Therefore, it is to earnestly appeal to all the Church leaders/pastors/prayer centers to kindly uphold the prisoners of Naga freedom movement by inserting a special moment in the midst of March 24 Sunday worship service programme. All the NNPGs are humbly requested to do so in their respective camps,” added the statement.
Kasar also requested the NSCN, Regional CAOs, Commanders and Chaplains to take the responsibility of organising the prayer service for the prisoners in their respective headquarters/camps.
