Film screening of AFSPA,1958 on 9th Osians Cinefan AFSPA,1958 Haobam Paban Kumar India, 2006 Direction: HAOBAM PABAN KUMAR Festival Section: In-Tolerance Screening Details: Siri Fort 3, July 27 2007, 09:30 Technical Details: 35 mm/Mono Synopsis: In 2004, Manorama Devi, a 32-year-old Manipuri woman was arrested by soldiers of the 17th Assam Rifles Regiment from her home. Later she is found dead under suspicious circumstances, her body raped and shot. Her death provokes outrage throughout the state against the excesses of the Security Forces. This people's movement erupted spontaneously, without the backing of any political party. The protest grew into a riot. The aim of the demonstrations was not just the case of Manorama Devi, but the overall conditions in Manipur and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act which has been in effect since 1958, and which gives special rights to the army.
