This post is for those young people who watch Tales from the Margins and ask what they can do to support Irom Sharmila: In November 2011, Irom Sharmila Chanu’s epic fast demanding the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) will complete 11 years. In these 11 years, the government has done everything in its power to isolate Irom Sharmila. It has kept her under arrest

UPDATE: This article was published in 2006. Irom Sharmila's hunger fast against the AFSPA has now continued over ten years.   IROM's IRON IN THE SOUL Young, stoic and dogged, Irom Sharmila has been on a fast-unto-death since November, 2000.

The immensity of Irom Sharmila Chanu's now six-year-old protest is matched only by the paralysing indifference of the State and the national media, says Shoma ChaudhuryAn ordinary November evening in Delhi.

MURDER IN PLAIN SIGHT In Manipur, death comes easy. In this damning sequence of photos, a local photographer captures the death of a young man, killed in a false encounter by the police in broad daylight, 500 metres from the state assembly. How can a State justify such a war against its own people, asks TERESA REHMAN, here:http://www.tehelka.com/story_main42.asp?filename=Ne080809murder_in.asp
