‘Will stay in jail until judicial inquiry launched’: Sonam Wangchuk
**Will Stay in Jail Until Judicial Inquiry Launched: Sonam Wangchuk**
*By Snehil Singh | Oct 05, 2025, 02:14 PM*
Sonam Wangchuk, the detained climate activist and education reformer, has declared that he will remain in Jodhpur Central Jail until an independent judicial inquiry is launched into the recent killings in Ladakh.
Wangchuk was detained last month under the National Security Act (NSA) following violent protests demanding Sixth Schedule protections for Ladakh, during which police firing resulted in four deaths.
**Message from Prison**
On Friday, Wangchuk’s lawyer, Mustafa Haji, and his elder brother, Ka Tsetan Dorjey Ley, met him and conveyed his message to the people of Ladakh and India. Wangchuk expressed gratitude for the support, concern, and prayers he has received and assured that he is doing well both physically and mentally.
He also extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the recent violence in Leh.
**Call for Inquiry**
Wangchuk has demanded an independent judicial probe into the killings and stated his willingness to stay in jail until such an inquiry is conducted. He reaffirmed his support for the demands of the Apex Body Leh and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) for Sixth Schedule status and full statehood for Ladakh.
“Whatever actions Apex Body takes in the interest of Ladakh, I am with them wholeheartedly,” he emphasized.
**Detention Controversy**
Wangchuk’s detention has attracted widespread criticism from opposition parties and civil society groups. Ladakh police have accused him of having links to Pakistan, and the Home Ministry has revoked his NGO’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license. Additionally, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry is currently pending against him.
Meanwhile, Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, has alleged that she has not been allowed to meet or communicate with her husband since his detention.
