Indian Court Rejects Bid to Release Hunger Striking Activist from Hospital An Indian court has rejected a plea by Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali Angmo, to release her husband from hospital, where he has been held against his will for several weeks.
The decision marks another milestone in the saga of Wangchuk's forced hospitalization, which has sparked widespread criticism of the government's handling of individual rights.
Judge Mini Pushkarna defended the government's actions, stating that doctors had only administered oral fluids to Wangchuk with his consent and without using force against him.
