Times of India | K Sarojkumar Sharma | Jul 12, 2012, 10.21AM IST
It has been 8 years since the bullet-riddled body of Manorama Devi, who was brutally raped and murdered allegedly by Assam Rifles personnel, was found at Laipharok Maring village in Imphal East. But her family is yet to get justice. Manorama was picked up by 17 Assam Rifles personnel from her Bamon Kampu residence the night before her body was found.
Apunba Lup has renewed its campaign to scrap the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA). Assistant coordinator of the organization, Johnson Elangbam, said there is no let up in the people's movement against AFSPA. "There can be no compromise on scrapping AFSPA, which gives unbridled powers to security forces to do anything under the shadow of the Act. We will soon start our next line of campaign," said Johnson.
