Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has completed the 19th day of his indefinite hunger strike, with doctors confirming that he has now lost more than 9 kilograms. According to Dr. Satish Lamba, Wangchuk's current weight is 56.9 kg, while his blood sugar, pulse and blood pressure remain under close medical observation. Doctors said Wangchuk is currently in the second stage of prolonged fasting, marked by elevated uric acid levels due to muscle breakdown. They warned that a possible third stage, involving organ-related complications, could emerge, prompting round-the-clock monitoring and a "wait and watch" approach.
