Synopsis
On 4TH March 2009, security forces came to Imphal Valley, in the Northeast Indian state of Manipur, looking for a militant ostensibly named, “Azad.” They dragged Azad Khan, just 12yrs and studying for school exams, out of his home, and shot him dead in front his parents. The draconian Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. 1958, in force in large parts of several states of NE India, offers unbridled impunity to security forces for such gross lapses. Azad’s parents are still waiting for justice.
