Indian human rights activist Irom Sharmila has ended a 16-year hunger strike, vowing to continue her fight against a law that grants military immunity by entering politics.
Sharmila broke her fast in front of reporters Tuesday by licking honey from her hand. "I will never forget this moment," she said.
Earlier on Tuesday, a judge granted her bail after she assured him that she planned to resume eating.
The rights activist had been hospitalized and force fed through a tube in her nose after beginning her strike in November 2000.
