Sharmila’s struggle continues

Sharmila taken to Delhi after summons
Sharmila was selected for South Korea’s Gwangju award for human rights this year.
“What I want is not awards, but withdrawal of the act which is responsible for violation of human rights by security forces”.
(The Gwangju award is awarded by the Gwangju Asian Human Rights Folk School, a South Korean human rights body to mark the protest against military rule in South Korea on May 18, 1980 in which over 200 people were killed)
Her brother, Singhajit received the award on her behalf in Seoul on May 18. Sharmila completed 2,400 days of her fast-unto-death that day.
