Sonam Wangchuk hospitalised on Day 21 of hunger strike after removal from Jantar Mantar

Climate activist and Ladakh advocate Sonam Wangchuk was removed from Jantar Mantar and taken to hospital on the 21st day of his ongoing hunger strike. In a video message on Day 20, Wangchuk acknowledged severe physical deterioration, stating he had lost around 20 percent of his body weight with muscle loss setting in. He warned that organ failure could follow if the fast continued, though he indicated he had not yet reached that critical point. Wangchuk called on supporters to participate in large numbers in the CJP Parliament march scheduled for July 20, describing public turnout as the movement's core strength. His removal from the protest site triggered chaos at the location.
