Demand to Repeal Armed Forces Act Grows Louder in India's Nagaland, People Stage 75-km March

The Indian state of Nagaland was declared a "disturbed area" in 1958. The decades-long insurgency was not crushed despite the 1958 Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) which allows security forces to kill anyone violating the law. Since December, local people have been demanding the withdrawal of AFSPA from the state.
