Irom Sharmila: World's longest hunger strike to end

Her campaign against a controversial security law had led to her being detained, and forced fed through a tube in her nose, for over a decade.

She was held under a law that makes attempting suicide a crime.

The court in northeastern Manipur state granted her bail on Tuesday and asked her to reappear on 23 June.

Ms Sharmila has signed a personal bail bond and is expected to be released after bail procedures are complete.

It is not clear when she will formally break her fast.
