India: 'New protests in India's Manipur against terror law: Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas shells at hundreds of women in India's northeastern Manipur state on Wednesday as protesters marked the first month anniversary of the killing of a local woman by soldiers. The killing of 30-year-old Thangjam Manorama, suspected to be a rebel, on the night of July 10 has triggered widespread demands for the repeal of a federal anti-terror law under which troops have wide-ranging powers.'
