Women activists up in arms against Police in Manipur

A
fter the arrest and detention of a woman leader of the ‘Apunba Lup’ Ima Memchoubi on August 25 by the Imphal West police, women activists of the ‘Apunba Lup’ yesterday tried to storm into the Rajbhawan. After women protestors tried to storm the Imphal West police headquarters on August 25 following the arrest of an ‘Apunba Lup’ woman leader Ima Memchoubi, a large number of women members of the organization gathered in front of the Raj Bhavan on Friday to express their grievances to the governor of Manipur. However, the women protestors were dispersed by the alerted police as the site located in the high security zone. Ima memchoubi was produced before the court of chief judicial magistrate Imphal on Thursday and was sent to judicial remand for 15 days. The agitated women demanded immediate release of Ima memchoubi as well as other four leaders of the Apunba Lup who were arrested earlier and were detained under the NSA.
