Irom Sharmila, who has been on a fast unto death since November 2000 demanding the repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, is continuing her fast, to the chagrin of the government, even after her release on Thursday.

Detained on the charge of attempting suicide, she can be legally held only for one year at a stretch and has, since 2000, been ritually released on the completion of each year in prison, only to be soon arrested again. She was taken away to the office of the Save Sharmila Group, and resumed the fast as the women vigilantes guarded her in concentric circles.

Talking to journalists, Sharmila said that if she were given a chance to meet President Pratibha Patil, she would ask her to ensure the democratic rights to the people as since India is a democratic country. She would also appeal to her to repeal the AFSPA. She reiterated that she would continue her campaign.

Police sources said that as her condition was alarming, she might have to be arrested within hours.
