Family Appeals to Foreign Secretary for Release of Scot Detained in India

Jagtar Singh Johal, facing terror charges in India, has not been convicted despite his trial beginning in 2022.

Jagtar Singh Johal, a Scottish Sikh activist, has been detained in India for six years on terror charges related to political violence.
Johal's family has appealed to the new Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, to intervene and secure his release.
Johal alleges he was tortured after his arrest in 2017, a claim denied by Indian authorities.
Despite his trial beginning in 2022, Johal has not been convicted of any crime. A UN panel of human rights experts found his detention to be arbitrary and lacking legal basis.
Cameron is the sixth Foreign Secretary since Johal's arrest. The UK government has stated its commitment to resolving Johal's case.
