Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Wednesday asked for an "unequivocal assurance" from the government that young protesters who participated in the recent movement demanding education reforms will not face any punitive or retaliatory legal action.
In a video message released today, his first since being moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, Wangchuk said he was "still alive" on the 25th day of his hunger strike. He said he had lost around 11 kg over the course of the fast and had begun losing muscle mass. He added that he was shifted from Safdarjung Hospital to the private Gurugram facility overnight.
