[Yengkhom Jilangamba]

Dear all,


Miss Irom Sharmila has been on hunger strike since Nov
2006 demanding the repealing of the Armed Forces
Special Powers Act 2000. This was her immediate
response to the Malom Massacre (Manipur) of 2nd Nov
2000 when the Assam Rifles massacred 10 innocent
civilians, including women and children, and brutally
assaulted more than 64 civilians in the name of
counter insurgency. She was arrested on the charge of
attempted homicide and has been forced fed in custody.
After her escape she reached Delhi on 4th October and
continued her hunger strike at Janter Manter, Delhi.
She was arrested by the police on 6th October 2006.
