Wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk urges President for his release.
Gitanjali J Angmo, the wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, has appealed to President Droupadi Murmu for her husband’s unconditional release from Jodhpur jail, where he has been detained under the National Security Act following violent clashes in Ladakh. Angmo argues that Wangchuk, who has dedicated his life to advocating for Ladakh’s ecological and social issues, poses no threat to the nation and emphasizes his contributions to supporting the Indian Army. She condemns his treatment during detention, claiming it undermines efforts to foster solidarity in the region, which is crucial for both national security and environmental sustainability. This situation highlights the tension between civil activism and state security measures in India, raising questions about the balance between law enforcement and the rights of citizens advocating for ecological preservation.
