Withdrawal of protest only temporary: nuns

Kochi | Saturday | 22nd September, 2018

Summary:

Aloyshia Joseph, who leads a movement for reforms within the Catholic Church, has also been on a hunger strike. However, the venue of the protest went silent as it was announced that there was no confirmation about the bishop’s arrest. A spokesman for the action committee said that the withdrawal of the protest was not permanent and if there was a need, the public action would be relaunched with renewed vigour. Sister Anupama and Sister Emelda, who have been part of the protest action here said that they thanked the innumerable number of people who had come in support of them. She said that it was the massive protest that put pressure on the authorities to arrest the bishop even if it was late..
