@dailymail: Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk said he has lost 11 kg (24 lb) after 26 days on hunger strike but is ‘still alive.’ Wangchuk said he would end his fast if the government stopped using force against student protesters and assured them they would face no punitive action. The protests, which began last month over the leak of medical school entrance exam papers affecting more than 2 million students, escalated this week as thousands of young protesters took to the streets of New Delhi. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse the crowds. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement gained momentum after receiving support from Wangchuk, who began his hunger strike on June 28. #india #newdelhi #Wangchuk #CJP
