The Committee to Protect Journalists issued a strongly-worded statement yesterday after reports on three journalists being allegedly assaulted by security personnel in Manipur.
“Authorities in India’s Manipur state must thoroughly investigate the recent attack on three journalists by security forces, and ensure that those responsible are held to account,” said Beh Lih Yi, the committee’s Asia program coordinator. “Journalists in Manipur must be able to do their work safely and without fear of harassment and abuse by soldiers.”
