For those who don't know the back ground context behind these links. The reason she is protesting is a law called Army Special Powers Act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_%28Special_Powers%29_Act,_1958 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_%28Special_Powers%... Why the law was enforced in her region etc is a huge history and is well beyond the scope of a HN comment.
