flag Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk denied inciting violence in Supreme Court, calling detention arbitrary and based on edited video.

flag Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, detained since September 26, 2025, denied in the Supreme Court on January 29, 2026, allegations he called for overthrowing the government like the Arab Spring, asserting his right to peaceful protest. flag His lawyer, Kapil Sibal, challenged the detention, arguing police misrepresented Wangchuk’s speech through a selectively edited video and falsely linked him to incitement or derogatory remarks about Hindu deities. flag Sibal said Wangchuk’s allegorical references to Lord Ram and Sita criticized the central government’s failure to deliver promised constitutional safeguards for Ladakh, not violence. flag The petition claims the detention is arbitrary, based on outdated charges and no genuine threat to national security, violating fundamental rights. flag The court deferred the case to February 2, ordering a medical examination for Wangchuk amid health concerns.
