Two days after her release from jail, human rights activist Irom Sharmila was on Friday rearrested in Imphal after she continued to protest against the contentious Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).

She was protesting, along with other activists against the Act at a place which was just half a kilometre away from the hospital where she was kept as a prisoner for 14 years. Police forcefully evicted and arrested her from the fast site.

After her release from the jail on Wednesday, Irom Sharmila had decided to keep her 14-year-long vow of not eating anything and not meeting her mother until the AFSPA was repealed.

She was released from the jail after a court ruled that she was not trying to commit suicide, a charge under which she was put under custody.
