AHRC stated that it has received information regarding the continued ‘harassment and detention of the students of Manipur University’ and writing a letter to the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, concerning the issue.

The commission has called for immediate and stringent action by both the Central and the State Governments against the police personnel who have used brutal force against the students.
