U.S. journalists James Foley and Clare Gillis arrive, after being released by the Libyan government, at Rixos hotel in Tripoli
U.S. journalists James Foley (2nd R) and Clare Gillis (R) arrive, after being released by the Libyan government, at Rixos hotel in Tripoli, in this photograph taken May 18, 2011. Islamic State militants have posted a video that purported to show the beheading of American journalist Foley in revenge for U.S. air strikes in Iraq, prompting widespread revulsion that could push Western powers into further action against the group. Foley, 40, was kidnapped on November 22, 2012, in northern Syria, according to GlobalPost. The video was posted after the U.S. resumed air strikes in Iraq in August 2014 for the first time since the end of the U.S. occupation in 2011. He had earlier been kidnapped and released in Libya.

Indian human rights activist Irom Sharmila speaks to the media outside a prison hospital in Imphal
Indian human rights activist Irom Sharmila speaks to the media outside a prison hospital in the northeastern Indian city of Imphal August 20, 2014. Sharmila, who has been on hunger strike for the last 14 years in protest against alleged army atrocities, walked free on Wednesday from a prison hospital where doctors had force-fed her to keep her alive. Sharmila's release comes after a trial judge found no evidence to support charges filed in 2000 by prosecutors in the northeastern state of Manipur that she was trying to commit suicide by refusing food.
