> IMPHAL, Oct 3: Despite being set free by the court
of Judicial Magistrate
> (First Class), Imphal East today on completing
statutory period of
> conviction close aides of Irom Sharmila Chanu
revealed that the hunger
> striker is still pursuing with her agitation.
> The aides, however, declined to disclose whereabouts
of Sharmila insisting
> that the general public would be provided relevant
details tomorrow.
> Earlier, the Court decreed that Sharmila had
completed the conviction and
> subsequent remand period on October 2 and thereby
ordered her release.
> Soon after the order, Sharmila - agitating for
nearly six years demanding
> complete removal of AFSPA 1958 from the entire State
- was whisked away
> from the court premises by her close aides and
disappeared along the
> Tiddim Road while media persons tried to follow her.
> The media persons pursued the vehicle carrying
Sharmila on assumption that
> she would continue her fast at Kangla as the hunger
striker had desired.
> During the deliberations on the case, the Judicial
Magistrate M Pemila
> ruled that the accused had been acquitted of the
charges levelled against
> Sharmila as the statutory period of conviction
complied with at the
> security ward of JN Hospital had lapsed yesterday.
> The Court also took note of the fact that under
similar circumstances
> sharmila was ordered for release on personal bond of
Rs 5000 on October 2
> last year but the then accused refused to furnish
the necessary bond.
