Overview

• Sonam Wangchuk remains held under the National Security Act in Jodhpur Central Jail after the September 24 Leh violence that left four dead and many injured.
• Gitanjali J Angmo says she has not been allowed to speak to her husband, alleges surveillance at HIAL and recent detentions there, and calls the case a “full-scale witch-hunt.”
• The Ladakh administration denies victimisation claims, saying the detention and investigations are based on credible inputs and citing alleged calls for an ‘Arab Spring’ and self-immolation.
• The Union Home Ministry has cancelled SECMOL’s FCRA registration, while Ladakh authorities have cancelled HIAL’s lease and say financial and foreign-funding probes are in progress.
• CPI-M MP Amra Ram says he was refused a meeting with Wangchuk at Jodhpur jail, and talks between Ladakhi groups and the Centre remain on hold pending demands including releases and a judicial inquiry.
