Renowned climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been in solitary confinement in Jodhpur jail for over 110 days, following his arrest on September 26, 2025. His wife, Gitanjali Angmo, recently spoke out, revealing that despite the 'very dire' and 'very difficult' conditions, Wangchuk remains optimistic and is utilizing his time to write a book, likely to be titled 'Forever Positive', based on his prison experience. Angmo detailed that Wangchuk sleeps on a blanket on the floor in a barrack devoid of furniture, with limited space to move. He is deprived of external communication, including phones, television, and watches, with even newspapers having relevant reports cut out. Despite these challenges, he practices Vipassana, yoga, and meditation, and finds company observing ants. Wangchuk's detention came after he ended a 15-day fast advocating for statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh. His arrest followed violent protests in Leh on September 24, 2025, which led to four deaths. Authorities detained him under the stringent National Security Act (NSA), accusing him of inciting violence. His wife has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Supreme Court, challenging his detention and alleging significant procedural lapses by the authorities. She claims the detention order relied on 'stale' or irrelevant material and that complete grounds for his detention were not provided promptly. The Supreme Court has been hearing the matter, with the next hearing scheduled for January 29, 2026, indicating an ongoing legal battle.
