Death For 8 Former Indian Navy Officers In Qatar

Eight former officers of the Indian Navy have been handed death sentences in Qatar following allegations of spying for Israel. Calling the judgment "shocking", the foreign ministry said it would not comment much on the case given the "confidential nature of proceedings" but said that they will contest the case. The men have been in jail since August 2022. Granted consular access to them, New Delhi has been working to secure their release. The men went to trial in March.
