Human rights activist Irom Sharmila Chanu, who is on an indefinite fast in Manipur for nearly 14 years demanding repeal of a law giving sweeping powers to the armed forces to tackle terrorism, was again arrested early on Friday, two days after she was released following a court order.

She is currently being forced fed through her nose at the security ward of the state-run Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) close to her Kongpal Kongkham Leikai residence in Imphal East district.

The Amnesty International (AI) India has already launched a campaign across the country, seeking release of Sharmila without any condition.
