Jammu: Detained Ladakhi climate activist Sonam Wangchuk from Ladakh region of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has told the three-member advisory board reviewing his case that his statements were deliberately taken out of context to frame him under India\u2019s draconian National Security Act (NSA), following the Leh firing incident in which four civilians were killed.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Wangchuk, who completed one month in detention at Jodhpur Central Jail on Monday, appeared before the review board last week and clarified that his words and ideas had been misinterpreted and mistranslated to portray him as an instigator of unrest. His wife, Gitanjali Angmo, said in a statement on X that a translator had \u201cwrongly paraphrased\u201d his videos, while random skirmishes between the CRPF, Ladakh Police and individuals were wrongly attributed to him.<\/p>\n
Calling the entire episode a \u201ctravesty of justice\u201d and a \u201cmockery of Indian democracy,\u201d Gitanjali said Wangchuk remains calm and hopeful, quoting him as saying, \u201cInsaaf ke ghar der hai, par andher nahi\u201d (justice may be delayed, but it is never denied). She added that he continues to express gratitude to those showing solidarity with him across the world.<\/p>\n
Wangchuk was detained under the NSA on September 26, two days after the fatal firing by Indian forces in Leh. The Leh administration later formed a three-member advisory board\u2014headed by Justice (retd) M.K. Hanjura\u2014to review the legality of his detention.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, political leaders and activists in Ladakh have condemned the continued incarceration of Wangchuk. Sajjad Kargili of the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) said the \u201cdraconian\u201d detention had deepened mistrust and damaged the democratic spirit of the region. He demanded Wangchuk\u2019s immediate release and the restoration of democratic rights in Ladakh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
