The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) launched a three day sit-in starting from Saturday, protesting against the death threat to A. Mobi, editor of The Sanaleibak and spokesperson of the journalists' union.
The threat was made by a proscribed underground organisation over phone. The union has said that if the outfit did not tender an apology and revoke the threat, there will be more agitations.
The protest is being held at Keishampat here.
A few days ago, no newspaper hit the stands for two days in protest against the abusive language and threats by the same outfit. However, fresh threats were held out to the AMWJU spokesperson. On Friday night, Mr. Mobi could not return home for reasons of security.
