Irom Sharmila walks out of jail after 14 years

Irom Chanu Sharmila, who has been on hunger strike for nearly 14 years, was released from captivity in Manipur on Wednesday, after a local court rejected charges of attempted suicide against her. However, she said that she will continue her protest against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. The 42-year-old activist's release also means she can't be force-fed anymore.
