What happened: complaints about cyberbullying of women protesters
A letter to the editor reports that women students exercising democratic rights and expressing anger at events are facing cyberbullying. The letter describes cyberbullying as lawlessness and says the police have not taken cognisance of such acts.
Background and earlier position: intimidation narratives around women protests
The letter expresses shock at the emergence of a narrative that women protesters should be taught a lesson. It treats this narrative as a justification for intimidation and misconduct, and urges the government to end such intimidation.
What changed now: focus on police response to online harassment
The immediate emphasis in the letter is on police response to cyberbullying and intimidation of women protesters. The action demanded is not limited to condemning harassment; it also asks for cognisance and enforcement.
