Imphal, Feb 22: Lawyers from the All Manipur Bar Association and the High Court Bar Association staged a protest infront of the Cheirap court complex in Manipur’s Imphal West district on Wednesday.
The protest demonstration was staged against the reported security forces “highhandedness” against women protesters.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Rapid Action Force personnel fired tear gas shells inside the Cheirap court complex on a large number of women. The shells were shot at a time, when the women were protesting against the arrest of six persons in connection with the mob violence and looting of arms from the security forces in Imphal East district on February 13.
Staging the protest, AMBA President Puyam Tomcha stated that both the bar associations strongly condemned the excessive use of force by RAF personnel against women protesters for using electric baton sticks, mob bombs and other lethal weapons, and demanded strict action against them.
