Controversial Law AFSPA Extended In Nagaland For 6 Months -Arvind Gunasekar, Ratnadip Choudhury and Vishnu Som

Nagaland's rights groups and even the state government have been demanding the centre to withdraw AFSPA

Kohima: The controversial law AFSPA that protects security forces from persecution has been extended for another six months in Nagaland, where the army is conducting a court of inquiry into an ambush that went horribly wrong on December 4.

The Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act, or AFSPA, gives sweeping powers to the military to operate freely anywhere that has been declared a "disturbed area"; no military personnel in an area where AFSPA is in force can be persecuted without the centre's sanction.

Nagaland's rights groups and even the state government have been demanding the centre to withdraw AFSPA.

The anti-AFSPA calls recently turned intense after an ambush by the army's Para Special Forces went horribly wrong in Nagaland on December 4, when they killed 13 civilians who were returning from working in a mine at night. A soldier died in a subsequent attack by villagers, who surrounded the jawans in anger.
