They demand withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958
Several women activists observed “anti-repression day” in Manipur on Thursday against the alleged atrocities by the security forces and demanding the withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958. However in view of the COVID-19 restrictions and ongoing curfew, the functions were low key affairs. The activists said the personnel of the 17 Assam Rifles garrisoned at Kangla, an old palace in the heart of the Imphal city, had arrested a young girl on July 11, 2004 from her house at Bamon Kampu in Imphal east district. Charged with being a member of a proscribed underground organisation, she was allegedly tortured and “gang-raped”. It was alleged she was later taken out of the camp and shot dead. One woman activist said, “The girl was in her parents’ home, helping them by weaving handloom clothes.”
