Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is staging an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, is taken to hospital after more than 20 days on the fast, according to multiple reports. NDTV says he is removed from the protest site and moved to a hospital on day 21 of the hunger strike. BBC News likewise reports that he is forcibly taken to a hospital after about 20 days, and notes that he had called on people to join a protest march to parliament on 20 July. News18 reports that the fast continues to enter its later stages—day 19 and then day 20—covering the growing duration of his hunger strike. One News18 piece also places the protest in the context of historical hunger strikes in India, referring to earlier long fasts and their political impact. The coverage consistently describes the hunger strike’s prolonged duration at Jantar Mantar and the subsequent hospital transfer, while providing background on the protest’s appeal to supporters and references to India’s wider history of hunger-strike activism.
