Dear Friends,
Please join us on the Book launch of Fragrance of Peace, a collection of poetry by Irom Chanu Sharmila, also known as the Iron Lady of Manipur, is a civil rights activist, political activist, journalist and poet from Manipur. Since November 4, 2000, she's been on a political fast demanding the Government of India to withdraw the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958, also otherwise known as AFSPA from Manipur and other areas of India's Northeast.
Ten years since it began in 2000, Irom Sharmila Chanu's fast is unparalleled in the history of political protest.
The attached file is the programme schedule. We will love to see you showing your solidarity.
