IMPHAL, September 5: Anti AFSPA crusader Irom Chanu Sharmila has been remanded to judicial custody by the JMIC, Imphal East today.<\/p>\n
Sharmila will be produced before the same court again on September 19.<\/p>\n
The concerned court offered to grant her bail on PR bond of Rs 10,000, however Sharmila declined unless it was unconditional release.<\/p>\n
Further speaking to some media persons, after the court proceedings Sharmila expressed her disappointment over the lack of support from the people despite her repeated call for mass support.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the recent court judgement in her favour and the warm welcome I was accorded with at the Ima market, I genuinely felt very positive about the people\u2019s sentiment towards the cause. Now I am back to where I had begun from and I feel very disappointed and lost as all those attention from the public has been reduced to just a show,\u201d said a sentimental Sharmila.<\/p>\n
In response to a query regarding her re-arrest on the pretext of her health status, Sharmila questioned \u201cWhat kind of human rights are we getting here, if they have failed to understand the hardship of being nose-fed for 14 years though I have not tasted even a single drop of water during the period.\u201d<\/p>\n
It may be noted that Sharmila was freed on August 20, following a judgement of a Session Court.<\/p>\n
Soon after her released from the JNIMS hospital security ward, an emotive Sharmila\u2019s first word to the media was \u201cI need mass support from my people.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, she was re-arrested under IPC 309 attempting to suicide on August 22 despite the session court acquitting her of the same section.<\/p>\n\n
