Wangchuk may end hunger strike if Parliament action assured, says wife

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike, with his wife Gitanjali stating he may end it if political leaders commit to parliamentary action on their demands. Gitanjali has alleged that Wangchuk is being illegally detained and was denied the right to choose his own hospital for medical treatment. She expressed a lack of trust in how authorities are managing his health condition. Wangchuk was relocated from Jantar Mantar amid concerns over his planned participation in a march to Parliament. Questions have also been raised over inconsistencies in his medical reports and a heavy police presence around him.
