Dear friends,
This solidarity fast is in support of Irom Sharmila, who is in her 7th year of fast with a demand to repeal the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (for more information see below). This solidarity fast will be organized in Imphal, Manipur where Sharmila is presently confined to the Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital, from 13th September, 2007, and will go on for 3-5 days. We invite more people from all over India and even outside to come and join this solidarity fast for as many days as you can. This is the least we can do to support one of the longest solitary peaceful struggles of our times which saddens our hearts but doesn't move the authorities a bit. We are confident that the truth will emerge victorious one day.
Looking forward to seeing you in Imphal on 13th September. If you cannot come to Imphal you may observe the fast at your own place. For more information please contact Sharmila's brother Singhjeet at 09863151540 or Sapamcha Kangleipal, President of Manipur Forward Youth Front at 09862096539.
Love,
