Big thumbs up for Wahid Da penning it right! 
I was thinking in the same line, but ...

When I was in Bombay, Human Rights activist will complain when a BHAI got 
killed in police encounter. But will never heard a word from them if same BHAI 
murders innocent people. I call it their purpose as: Cheap publicity.

>From the press release by Dr Hazarika, as he mentioned about the six
wives of the ULFA cadres, it seems he is only concerned about the
wellbeing of ULFA and ULFA relatives.

My question to Dr Hazarika:

What about the families that had to part with their near
and dear ones due to the ULFA's brutality?

Many of those kidnapped by the ULFA remain traceless, (for
your information Dr Hazarika please see the post:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3100)

Are these families not 'human' enough so that their 'rights' could
be taken up by Human rights organization like AssamWatch (UK)?

PRESS RELESE

AW/001/2007

Dated 29 April 2007

AssamWatch(UK) has noted with some relief that upon receiving firm
written commitment from the Chief Minister of Assam, the six wives of
the missing cadres of the United Liberation Front of Asom in Bhutan in
December 2003 has ended their 'FAST UNTO DEATH' action on 26 April
2007. Assam Watch(UK) would like to thank the Government of Assam for
intervening in time to save the lives of these determined ladies who
has followed the footsteps of Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi who went on
repeated 'Fasting Protests' during the Indian independence struggle.

We are very hopeful that the Assam Government will honour the
written reassurances and commitments given to the ladies on doing the
needful in tracing the where about of the missing persons pursuing all
avenues and return them to their families as soon as possible.

The ladies fasting from. 21 March 2007 have put their health in
extreme jeopardy. Appropriate care need to be provided for overall
well being of these ladies who have put their bodies through extreme
starvation on a background of a anxiety over their beloved ones for
over the last Two and a Half year and it is expected that the
appropriate authorities have already taken this into consideration and
continue the care needed for them without any prejudice.

Dr. M. Hazarika
