Indian rights activist Chanu Sharmila, on Tuesday promised in New Delhi to end her hunger strike of 16 years in order to run in 2017 state elections.

Abhirr VP, Amnesty International India Spokesperson, said that Sharmila, who has been fasting for past 16 years, is ending the fast on Tuesday, with the aim of trying a different agitation.


She recalled that Sharmila launched her hunger strike on November 2, 2000, to protest the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), a controversial law that gives armed forces special powers of search and seizure in troubled regions.


VP said that the activist launched her protest against AFSPA after 10 civilians were killed by security forces in insurgency-hit Manipur.

On Tuesday she was granted bail after assuring a judge that she planned to end her fast.
