Demand release of Sonam Wangchuk from unjust admission into Safdarjung Hospital
The Issue
Sonam Wangchuk, an esteemed Indian engineer and innovator known for transformative projects such as the *Ice Stupa Project* and the energy-efficient *SECMOL campus*, now finds himself at the center of an alarming situation. This petition seeks justice for Wangchuk, who has dedicated his life to environmental conservation and sustainable innovation. His contributions have earned him recognition through prestigious awards such as the *Rolex Award for Enterprise 2016* and the *Ramon Magsaysay Award 2018*.
In a shocking turn of events, Wangchuk was forcibly taken under the guise of a medical checkup, a move that many, including his family and legal representatives, believe was unnecessary and unjust. If our democracy is to thrive, we must confront these disturbing actions. Wangchuk's wife and lawyers have been denied access to his medical files, and the absence of transparency is concerning. No one, especially someone who has contributed so significantly to society, should be stripped of their rights in this manner.
Wangchuk staged a hunger strike in 2026, highlighting his deep commitment to his causes and the lengths he is willing to go to seek justice. This action by Delhi police, under such coercive circumstances, raises severe concerns about the state of freedom and justice in our society. The lack of access for his family and legal counsel to transparent information about his condition suggests a gross misuse of power.
This petition aims to rally support from across the globe to call upon relevant authorities to release Sonam Wangchuk immediately. It's crucial for the health of our democracy that we stand against such acts of force and advocate for his right to freedom and due process. Sonam Wangchuk's pioneering projects for harsh climates and his profound impact on education deserve honor, not unlawful restraint.
Please sign this petition to demand the immediate release of Sonam Wangchuk and ensure that justice prevails in this unjust situation. Let us preserve the democratic values that allow innovation and reform to flourish.
