Manipur activist Irom Sharmila was on Friday Aug 22,2014 charged with attempted
suicide and sent to 15-day judicial custody. Sharmila, who had refused
to be examined by doctors upon her release on Wednesday, was taken away
forcibly by police personnel from her protest site in Imphal.
Manipur activist Irom Sharmila, who was freed on Wednesday, has been regularly arrested and
released since she began her fast in 2000 against the Armed Forces
Special Powers Act (AFSPA) which grants special powers to the armed
forces in "disturbed areas".
