**************************************************************
According to the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), in an area that is proclaimed as "disturbed", an officer of the armed forces has powers to:
1. Fire upon or otherwise use force, even to the causing of death, against any person who is acting in contravention of any law" against "assembly of five or more persons" or possession of deadly weapons.
2. To arrest without a warrant and with the use of "necessary" force anyone who has committed certain offenses or is suspected of having done so
3. To enter and search any premise in order to make such arrests.
**************************************************************

In Indian state of Manipur, citizens are killed just on the basis of suspicion and arrest any person without warrant. The ACT gives Army officers legal immunity for their actions. There can be no prosecution, suit or any other legal proceeding against anyone acting under that law.

The situation in Manipur is like "military rule" where the lives of citizen are always under risk of being killed at any time in any corner of the state.

**************************************************************
Lets voice for the removal for this colonial ACT
**************************************************************

The event was conceptualised by For a better Manipur (FBM), a voluntary forum and is being organised in collaboration with several organisations and voluntary groups.
