INDIA IRON LADY IROM SHARMILA HUNGER STRIKE

'Iron Lady' to end 16 year long hunger strike

epa05467122 Irom Chanu Sharmila, the so-called 'Iron Lady', speaks during a press conference after appearing in the court of Imphal, Manipur, India, 09 August 2016. The 44-year-old rights activist is scheduled to break her fast later in the day, after she had been on a hunger strike since the year 2000. Sharmila, who lives in a prison-turned-hospital, went on hunger strike after the death of 10 civilians in a village near Imphal, who were allegedly killed by an Assam Rifles battalion. The activist, who had been forcibly fed through a nasal tube to keep her alive, demanded the revocation of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) which allows security men to kill a person on suspicion without the fear of punishment.
