The wife of Indian activist Wangchuk has appealed to a court to transfer him from a state-run hospital to a private facility. This request follows a decline in Wangchuk’s health while undertaking a hunger strike. She alleges that her husband is currently being held illegally after being moved to the state hospital by security personnel. The wife’s petition raises concerns about the quality of care available in the state-run facility and the circumstances surrounding his transfer. The move from a prior location to the state hospital occurred as Wangchuk’s health deteriorated during the protest. The court will now consider the request for a transfer to private medical care and review the legality of his current detention.
