The officers have been given four weeks to respond. The Commission has issued these directions after taking cognizance of a complaint.<br \/>\nAllegedly, the victim journalists had gone to Zophai to prepare a ground report as there was tension between Mizo Zirlai Pawl, a student organization of Mizoram and the Assam police, which escalated due to lathi charge by the Assam police on the journalists. The police also fired gun shots during the action.<br \/>\nIt is also mentioned in the complaint that the journalists were displaying their press identity cards to the police personnel but they were not spared and were beaten black and blue. Many of the journalists, including women, have sustained serious injuries. It is further stated that the Mizoram Journalists&#8217; Association had called a General Body Meeting at Aizawl Press Club Conference Hall on the 12th March, 2018 to express their plight. They also organized a sit-in demonstration on the 13th March, 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">National Human Rights Commission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National
