Joining the growing public demand for revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, four leaders of the Family of the Involuntarily Disappeared Association Manipur (FIDAM) staged a sit in protest at Nupilal Memorial Complex today.
FIDAM president Kangujam Ranjit, vice president Laishram Bisheshori, secretary Md Baniyamin and office bearer Kh Bidhen began the agitation around 11 am and continued upro 12.10 pm when they were arrested by a police team led by SP Imphal West S Ibocha.
However, the four arrested persons insisted on carrying on with their protest stating that they had not violated the prohibitory orders under 144 CrPC which restricts assembling of five or more persons.
Informing the arrested persons about the provision under section 41 of CrPC which stated that police can arrest any person under suspicion, the SP arrested them.
