The wife of Indian activist Wangchuk asks a court to order that he be moved to a private hospital, according to reports. She says that despite repeated requests, the hospital involved does not discharge him or allow her to transfer him to a private facility of her choice. She alleges that he is being held illegally after security personnel moved him to a state-run hospital as his health deteriorated during a hunger strike. The reports state that the activist’s health worsened while he was on hunger strike, prompting his transfer to hospital care. In her statement, she argues that her requests have not been addressed and that judicial intervention is needed to enable a transfer to private medical care. The accounts describe a dispute over custody and medical placement as the activist’s condition changes, with the court being asked to intervene in the hospital setting. The outlets do not indicate a court decision in the available reports.
