Activist Sonam Wangchuk Sets Three Conditions to End Hunger Strike

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Activist Sonam Wangchuk has agreed to end his ongoing hunger strike on July 20, but only if three specific conditions are met. Wangchuk, who has been on a fast for over 20 days, is protesting what he calls failures in the education system. He has demanded accountability from the government and assurances from parliamentary leaders. Currently hospitalized, Wangchuk claims he is being illegally detained. A march to Parliament, named 'Chalo Sansad', is planned for July 20 to press for his demands. The conditions for ending the fast have not been disclosed in detail, but Wangchuk insists they are essential for addressing the issues he is raising. The situation has drawn attention to his cause, with supporters rallying behind him.
