"Illegal Detention": Sonam Wangchuk's Wife Seeks Urgent High Court Hearing
Sonam Wangchuk's wife has filed an urgent petition in the High Court alleging illegal detention after the activist was hospitalized. She claims their movements are being restricted by authorities against their will.
Sonam Wangchuk's wife has moved the High Court seeking an urgent hearing regarding what she describes as the "illegal detention" of her husband. The activist was reportedly taken to Safdarjung Hospital, where his family claims their movements have been severely restricted by security personnel and hospital staff.
The petition alleges that the hospitalization is a pretext to prevent Wangchuk from continuing his protest activities. His legal team argues that the restriction of movement lacks a valid legal basis and violates fundamental rights to liberty and expression.
The activist had been leading a march from Ladakh to New Delhi to advocate for constitutional safeguards for the region. Authorities have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the specific clinical reasons for the hospitalization or the security measures in place. Source: NDTV
