In India's northeastern state of Manipur, a woman poet and activist has been on a hunger strike for more than a decade. She is demanding repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, a law that gives sweeping powers to Indian security forces involved in counter-insurgency operations in the northeast and Kashmir regions.

FSRN'S Bismillah Geelani has the story.
