Yes, it's time we also took a good look at her case.

Wikipedia says - Having refused food and water for more than 500 weeks, she has been called "the world's longest hunger striker"...

500 weeks - that means 10 years...a year having 52 weeks...

But 10 it was at the time the Article was published...now it's almost 11...for she began her strike on 2nd November 2000...

The Backdrop to the Hunger Strike is Horrendous.

Wikipedia says - "On November 2, 2000, in Malom, a town in the Imphal Valley of Manipur, ten civilians were allegedly shot and killed by the Assam Rifles......................including one of a 62-year old woman, Leisangbam Ibetomi, and 18-year old Sinam Chandramani, a 1988 National Child Bravery Award winner."

Is that how we treat our Child Bravery Winners ?

The Entire Article can shed more light on her plight, and therefore I urge you to go and read it -
