\"\"New Delhi: The Breakthrough Science Society (BSS), a group of scientists, has condemned the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and demanded his immediate release.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the BSS also urged the Indian government to engage in constructive dialogue with Sonam Wangchuk to address the pressing concerns of the people of Ladakh and to protect its fragile environment.<\/p>\n

Ladakh witnessed violent protests over demands for statehood and inclusion of the region in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution leading to the death of four persons.<\/p>\n

Over 50 persons have been taken into custody for their alleged involvement in rioting, while Wangchuk has been detained under the National Security Act and lodged in a jail in Rajasthan\u2019s Jodhpur.<\/p>\n

The BSS recalled that Wangchuk had undertaken a 21-day climate fast in March 2024 and also marched on foot from Leh to Delhi to draw attention to the vulnerability of the high Himalayas to climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis consistent history of non-violent action demonstrates his unwavering commitment to peaceful protest. Wangchuk has also denied any role in the violent incidents that occurred in Ladakh on 24-September 2025,\u201d the BSS statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
