Sonam Wangchuk Detained Under NSA in Jodhpur Jail; Wife Challenges Detention Legality

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been held in solitary confinement in Jodhpur jail for over 110 days under the National Security Act following protests in Ladakh that resulted in violence and deaths. His wife, Gitanjali Angmo, describes his detention as illegal and highlights procedural lapses, including delayed provision of detention documents. Despite difficult conditions, Wangchuk remains optimistic, engaging in reading, meditation, and writing. Angmo has filed a habeas corpus petition seeking his release and calls for stronger public support against his detention.
