msf PU remembering Mansoor Koothuparamba - A life taken by CPIM terror
On April 6, 2021, in Koothuparamba, Kannur, Mansoor (22), a dedicated activist of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), was brutally murdered on the day of the Kerala Assembly elections. His life was cut short in a shocking act of violence, where assailants linked to the Communist Party of India (CPIM) threw bombs to spread fear and then hacked him to death. Mansoor was more than a political worker he was a young voice of hope, commitment, and courage,
On his death anniversary, we remember Mansoor not just as a victim, but as a symbol of resistance against political brutality. His murder stands as a painful reminder of the dangers of intolerance and the urgent need to uphold democratic values. Mansoor’s memory lives on as a call to end violence, to protect political freedom, and to ensure that no more young lives are lost to hatred.
