21 April 2025: CHRO is deeply saddened by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In a moment we will forever cherish, our representative had the honor of presenting him with the Chin traditional dress—a symbol of our people’s identity, resilience, and the dignity of all Indigenous communities.

Pope Francis was a tireless moral voice for the oppressed. His unwavering stand for human rights, compassion for refugees, and deep respect for Indigenous peoples inspired hope across the world—including in the hearts of the Chin people. His legacy will continue to guide and strengthen our struggle for justice, freedom, and human dignity.

May he rest in peace, and may his example live on in our shared pursuit of a more just and compassionate world.
