The Delhi High Court has authorized the transfer of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk from a government hospital to a private facility, according to legal news portal Bar and Bench. Wangchuk, who has been on hunger strike since June 28, was moved to a hospital against his wishes by police on Saturday, citing health concerns. Main Developments The court's decision came after Wangchuk's wife filed a petition alleging the activist was being held in "illegal detention." Police had previously acted on a court order to monitor Wangchuk's health and intervene if it deteriorated. The hunger strike is part of the youth-led 'cockroach movement' protesting medical college entrance test paper leaks. Background Wangchuk, 59, began his hunger strike on June 28 in solidarity with demands for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest stems from alleged paper leaks in medical college entrance tests. Police removed Wangchuk from the protest site in New Delhi on Saturday, citing health risks from his prolonged fast.
