Imphal, Nov. 18:
North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) expressed strong condemnation to the recent arrest of student organization leaders in Manipur. A press statement said that the student leaders were arrested for agitating against the various problems which have been plaguing the university since last several months.
“Arresting people merely for agitating and speaking up against the wrongs being committed by the university authorities tarnishes the democratic structure of our polity. The student leaders who have been arrested were well within their rights to demonstrate regarding the problems being faced by the university community. Curbing such democratic protests is bound to have a spiral effect”, the statement said.
NEFIS also demanded to release the arrested student leaders immediately and unconditionally. NEFIS also demanded that the issue of unjustified fee being levied from the students should be immediately resolved by reimbursement of fee to the students.
