Today, On 12th January, Sonam Wangchuk’s wife told the Supreme Court that NSA detention based on irrelevant material is bad law. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal called the detention unconstitutional and procedurally flawed as the Court resumed hearings on the petition challenging Wangchuk’s NSA detention.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk told the Supreme Court that despite winning 30 nation-building awards and openly opposing violence, he is being portrayed as a criminal under the National Security Act.
