A fact finding report on exodus of the Brus in November 2009 Summary: From 13 to 17 November 2009, about 500 houses in 11 villages belonging to the indigenous Bru minorities, also known as Reangs, were burnt down by persons whom the officials of the State government of Mizoram termed as “miscreants” and “anti-social elements”. The attacks were carried out in retaliation of the murder of a Mizo youth identified as Mr Zarzokima (17 years) in the morning of 13 November 2009 by alleged Bru Revolutionary Union (BRU) cadres at Bungthuam village under Lokicherra police station in Mamit district. On 20 November 2009, the Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) condemned the violence against the minority Brus. On 22 November 2009, Mizoram Home Minister Mr R Lalzirliana called a press conference to refute the allegations of ACHR and stated that “ACHR representatives are most welcome to come to Mizoram and see the facts and ground realities by themselves.” On 1st December 2009, the State of Mizoram accepted the proposal of ACHR to allow its team to visit Mizoram and agreed to provide adequate security. The Terms of Reference of the Fact Finding Team are the following: 1. Investigate the causes of the displacement of the Brus in November 2009; 2.
