Appealing to the public, Sonam urged people to maintain peace, unity, and continue their struggle through non-violent, Gandhian methods.
This message comes amid heightened tensions in Ladakh following recent clashes and deaths during protests, as demands for greater autonomy and statehood gain momentum.
Gitanjali J. Angmo, wife of climate Wangchuk, has approached the Supreme Court of India challenging her husband's detention under the National Security Act (NSA). The hearing for her appeal is on October 6.
The unrest resulted in four fatalities and numerous injuries. Angmo's habeas corpus petition, filed on October 2, alleges illegal detention and a lack of communication with her husband since his arrest. She also contends that the invocation of the NSA was unwarranted and that she has not received a copy of the detention order, violating due process.
Previously, Angmo appealed to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting Wangchuk's unconditional release. She described the arrest as a "witch-hunt" and emphasized her husband's peaceful nature and dedication to Ladakh's development. The case has garnered national attention, with human rights organizations and political groups expressing concern over the use of stringent laws against activists. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the petition after the Dussehra holidays, with a hearing likely on October 6. |
