Imphal, February 04 2009:
A poster highlighting alleged non-implementation of the Justice (Retd) Jeevan Reddy recommendation for amending certain clauses of the controversial Armed Forces' Special Power Act (AFSPA) 1958 has been released at the office premises of the Human Rights Alert today.
The poster designed/developed by Naharol Sahitya Khumaba Lup was formally released by a victim of security force high-handedness Naorem (Ongbi) Mayanglambam Ningol Thoinu Devi of Kakching Chumnang Ching.
Thoinu, a housewife, was raped by a jawan (N Pratap Singh) of the 5/5 Gorkha Regiment on June 27, 1998 at her own house.
Speaking at a simple poster release ceremony convenor of the Lup Birmangol Pukhrambam asserted that State wide campaigns would be launched to spread awareness among the general public regarding continued atrocities committed by security force personnel deployed in the State.
