SC questions govt over translation of Wangchuk’s speeches

On Monday, the Supreme Court of India raised concerns regarding the accuracy of the translated versions of speeches by Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent climate activist currently imprisoned. The court's inquiries were directed at the Central Government, questioning the fidelity of the translations provided. Wangchuk, known for his innovative approaches to climate change and sustainable development in Ladakh, has garnered significant attention and support for his advocacy. The case underscores the broader issue of free speech and the treatment of activists in India, especially those involved in environmental issues. As the court deliberates, the implications of this case on civil liberties and environmental activism in the country remain to be seen.
