Save Democracy Repeal AFSPA Group strongly condemns the assault on the student leader, Vice President of the Manipur Student Federation, Longjam Omakanta by the additional superintendent of Police, Imphal west, Mr. Herojit on 5th November in a students’ rally which was organized as part of the one day fast and demonstration in many cities in India and around the world.
The rally was organized by the six student’s body in Manipur as part of the All India and the International campaign to repeal the Armed forces Special Powers Act and supporting 11 years long fast by Irom Sharmila.
5th November worldwide protest was organized by many supporting organizations in more than 17 places in India and North America, but this kind of assault by the police to the students in a rally was only happened in Manipur and not in any other places in India. It was a shame and unwanted practice from one of the responsible MPS officer. We strongly condemn it.
We appeal to the Government of Manipur to take a necessary action against the responsible police officer.
