The Supreme Court is hearing a plea challenging the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act (NSA). His wife, Gitanjali Angmo, argues that Wangchuk's speeches were aimed at quelling violence, not inciting it, and that authorities withheld crucial evidence supporting his stance. The government accuses Wangchuk of inciting protests that led to deaths and injuries. The court has heard arguments, including the playing of a video of Wangchuk's speech, and has deferred the hearing for further proceedings.
