Indian climate activist Sonam Wangchuk finished hunger strike in New Delhi on Friday ahead of authorities sending him to a clinic for a check‑up. Police confirmed the move, claiming they intervened due to concerns about his condition. Various foreign news organisations covered the compelled transfer, including Reuters and the BBC, which said his hunger strike related to larger opposition rallies. Later noted the repeated forced movement in the wake of the lengthy abstention. Human rights organisations condemned the officials for risking a demonstrator. The situation has raised questions about the response to protest in India.
