MP calls for Rishi Sunak to take 'urgent action' over Scot detained in India for five years
A Scots MP will call on Rishi Sunak to act 'urgently' to bring home imprisoned Jagtar Singh Johal who faces the death penalty in India after a false conviction.
Martin will be bringing Johal's case to a General Debate at Westminster on Thursday, speaking beforehand, he said: “My constituent Jagtar Singh Johal’s case is turning into one of the most prominent miscarriages of justice of our time.“After 5 years of incarceration in India without trial, believed tortured, this young Scot from Dumbarton is at risk of facing the death penalty.
“We witnessed first-hand, through the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori, that the UK government can bring their people home. We must see a similar approach with Mr Johal."
