Indian court denies request to release activist Sonam Wangchuk from hospital
Al Jazeera1 min read90 words
Sonam Wangchuk, a 59‑year‑old resident, has been placed under compulsory medical care, prompting his wife to describe the situation as “illegal detention.” The family’s statement, released to local media, asserts that the enforced hospitalization lacks legal justification and violates Wangchuk’s personal liberties.
Authorities have not publicly commented on the specific grounds for the admission, and legal counsel for the family is reportedly reviewing the case to determine whether procedural safeguards were observed. The dispute highlights ongoing concerns about the balance between medical authority and individual rights in involuntary treatment settings.
