Indian
activist Irom Sharmila has ended her 16-year-long hunger strike against
a controversial security law, in order to compete in local elections.
Her campaign, described as the world's longest hunger strike, had led to
her being detained, and forced fed through a tube in her nose for over a
decade. She was held under a law that makes attempting suicide a crime.
