Kolkata, March 21: Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, who left India accusing the Indian government of violating her basic rights of free movement and expression, is in hospital in a European city and says she misses her friends in Kolkata on Holi.

"I'm now in a hospital in a European city the name of which I am unable to disclose for security reasons," Taslima said in an e-mail.

"I came straight to the hospital from the airport on Wednesday afternoon. I'm feeling much better," she said.

Taslima, who had been under virtual house arrest at an undisclosed destination in Delhi since November, 2007, said she was feeling better also because her movement would not be monitored after she is discharged from hospital.

"I hope to move about freely with some security when I am discharged," said the writer who left India three days back.

The 46-year-old controversial author had said that she was suffering from cardiac problems and retinopathy besides high blood pressure, during her stay in Delhi after she was bundled out of Kolkata on November 22 following street protests by All India Minority Forum demanding cancellation of her visa a day earlier.
