World's longest hunger strike ends
With a lick of some honey that was spooned onto her palm, human rights activist Irom Sharmila on Tuesday ended her 16-year hunger strike in India -- the longest such fast in the world.
Sharmila, known as the "Iron lady of Manipur," first smiled and then sobbed before she ate the honey in front of reporters in India's northeastern Manipur state, finally free of the nasal tube that the government had used to force-feed her for more than a decade.
