@GitanjaliAngmo@Wangchuk66 An innovator remains an innovator—anywhere, even behind bars. Wisdom cannot be jailed. Ka Sonam Wangchuk is a rare, God-gifted voice of Ladakh. Truth and integrity always prevail. We stand with him. Long live a voice for the voiceless.
When I met @Wangchuk66 yesterday he said that Winter is over-All is Well Now!
“Now that the winter is over I’m telling you that this was the coldest winter in my life. People say, but you are from #Ladakh. Yes, but in Ladakh we have good preparations. Our passive solar heated houses stay at +18 deg C, others heat with bukharis. I have done hunger strikes outdoor in -25 deg C; I have even been to Antartica. And for that we are prepared. But this was the coldest experience in bed at night so far. Here it was +6 deg C outside and +6 deg C indoors. My big hall cell of cement and stone has 10 windows with only iron bars, no shutters. When strong winds blow the real feel temperature is around 2 deg C (with wind chill effect). It’s exactly like sleeping under a bridge in Delhi. And in jail there is no concept of bed or mattress or pillow-only blankets on cold concrete floor- they were kind to give extra blankets, but nothing to stop the winds from all the window openings.
But imagine-the borewell water running in pipes outside my door is at 25 deg C - a free resource - hence i wanted to design a no cost, zero carbon floor-hearing system using this water - that would also serve as a cooling system in hot summers for all the barracks in all the prisons across India. I hope I will get support and simple instruments like the thermometers from the jail authorities or permission from court to work on this innovation!”
#freesonamwangchuknow so that he can continue his fine work in education and innovation.

Isn’t it strange that the Govt refuses to give a copy of the preventive detention order of Sonam Wangchuk to his wife who has filed a habeas corpus petition in the SC? Govt claims to have given a copy to Wangchuk who has been detained & hardly being allowed to meet anyone!
