I do hope you write Sharmila. She is released now so her previous jailors are increased by the plain clothes jailors. As usual no ordinary Manipuri will be allowed anywhere near her. The first ten would be too terrified of having a visit later that night. Though it's true if one lac turned up the jailors would be scared nobody wants to be the first. If I were there they just turn it into a complete circus. They are very petty. Tomorrow is her birthday I'm not sure if it will make any difference to her which set of jailors surround her then. If it looked like people were going to stand beside her they'd definitely get her back to the JNIMS. You seem interested in art too http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140313/jsp/northeast/story_18075811.jsp#.UyHNTtxZ5SU Calcutta and Mumbhai are where the artists live in India. It might help. I think reaching out one starfish at a time is truly supportive. The General Elections in India start April 7th. There may be changes as regards AFSPA in Manipur after that. Indians don't want to look like a bunch of gang raping goondas in front of Mr Kerry for example. If you get a response please send her a copy. Don't matter who I am now do it.
