		</div><p>Indian court has granted bail to a hunger-striking activist who has been force-fed for nearly 16 years, after she assured the judge that she planned to end her fast.</p>
<p>Babloo Loitongbam, a rights activist close to Irom Sharmila, says he expects her to be freed later, once the paperwork is processed.</p>
<p>Ms Sharmila has not eaten voluntarily since November 5, 2000, when she began fasting to protest over an Indian law that suspends human rights protections in conflict areas, including the north-eastern state of Manipur &#8211; which has long been plagued by uprisings by ethnic separatist militants and violent government crackdowns.</p>
<p>Three days before she began her hunger strike, 10 civilians were killed by paramilitary troops in Malom, a small town outside Imphal, the Manipur state capital.</p>
