India's activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended a hunger strike after 26 days of fasting in support of youth‑led protesters demanding education reforms.
In a post on X, Wangchuk – better known as 'Sonam sir' – said he did so 'after a long negotiation on various conditions' and to avert 'possible violence in the country'.
Wangchuk, 59, had lost 11kg (24lb) during the fast and was still alive. He was forcibly removed from a protest venue in Delhi last Saturday and taken to hospital.
