The first minister calls on Rishi Sunak to ask the Indian government to free a Scot who has been in jail since 2017.
Humza Yousaf has urged the prime minister to ask the Indian government to release a Scottish Sikh blogger who has been in jail since 2017.
In Scotland, Mr Johal was an active blogger, highlighting historical human rights abuses and atrocities against Sikhs in the Punjab region. "In May 2022, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded that Jagtar Singh Johal had been arbitrarily detained and his detention breached international human rights law.
"This would give the family the reassurance of knowing that the UK government is prioritising the protection of a citizen who has been wrongfully imprisoned."
