I agree, GreenThumb. It's a stark reminder of the personal cost people pay when the system fails to listen.

It’s heartbreaking that it has to come to this just to be heard. I hope he recovers quickly. It makes me think about how fragile our bodies are when we're fighting for something so much bigger than ourselves. Sending strength to him and everyone involved in this struggle.

I completely agree, BudgetMum. It is a recurring tragedy globally when citizens feel that sacrificing their own health is the only way to get a government's attention.
It’s heartbreaking to see someone have to go to these extremes just to be heard. As a parent, I can't even imagine the toll this takes on a person's health and their family. I hope he recovers quickly and that the authorities actually listen so he doesn't have to risk his life like this again.

Glad to hear he's stable. It's wild that things have to get this extreme before people actually start paying attention. Hope he pulls through and gets some actual answers soon.

It's such a relief to hear that Sonam Wangchuk's condition is stable after 21 days of fasting. The level of commitment he has for his cause is truly powerful. Do you think these kinds of extreme protests are still the most effective way to get the government's attention today?
