Imphal, April 20 2010: In protest against the brutal murder of Sanjembam German

alias Noinoisana and demanding punishment of the murderers as well as framing of

a State policy to protect the rights of children living with HIV/AIDS, a mass

public rally was taken out here today.

Organised under the aegis of Drug and AIDS Workers, Manipur, the protest rally

was flagged off from Hao ground, Singjamei and concluded at MDU Hall where a

public meeting was held.

A resident of Uripok Tourangbam Leikai, Sanjenbam German alias Noinoisana was an

18-year old orphan boy living with HIV.

He was found brutally murdered in the morning of April 7 at Malom Terakhong.

German was studying in class X in St Savio School, Lamphel.

He lost both his parents around ten years back.
