DefInitely would be good and an early sign that the new govt means what it says when it talks about cleaning up corruption/injustice. i dont know how the whole political scene out there works, whether its uptoo Punjab govt to release him or upto Delhi. If its controlled by Punjab then its a good early opportunity for the govt to make a good impression. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Premi Posted June 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/03/keir-starmer-urges-boris-johnson-request-india-release-uk-citizen-jagtar-singh-johal Starmer urges PM to request India release UK citizen Jagtar Singh Johal Patrick Wintour Diplomatic editor Fri 3 Jun 2022 12.23 BST Keir Starmer has asked Boris Johnson to intervene and request that the Indian government release a British citizen after a UN working group declared his five-year detention arbitrary and without any legal basis. In a letter, the Labour leader asks why Johnson has not acted to ask for the release of Jagtar Singh Johal given the findings of the UN report on arbitrary detention last month. Johnson prides himself on his strong relations with the Indian government led by Narendra Modi, but he has not used his influence to make a public call for release. Starmer writes: “Jagtar was arrested in 2017 after travelling to India for his wedding where he was tortured by police officers into making a so-called ‘confession’ to charges carrying the death penalty.” Referencing the UN working group on arbitrary detention’s conclusion that Jagtar “was targeted because of his activities as a Sikh practitioner and supporter and because of his activism”, he points out that the UN believes there is no legal basis for his continued detention. .... Starmer, a former director of public prosecutions, is the most high-profile politician to take up the case, and his intervention suggests the UK will not be able to keep the issue confined to behind-the-scenes diplomacy indefinitely. Johal’s family, based in Dumbarton, have received support from the Scottish first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and the campaign organisation Reprieve. Starmer in his letter also calls for a cross-party approach to secure his release, saying: “In past cases of British nationals detained abroad it has been crucial to work cross-party, not only to exert maximum pressure but also ensure a coordinated approach. So, in that spirit, I want to offer Labour’s support in securing Jagtar’s release and hope you can address the questions Jagtar’s family desperately want to be answered.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a letter to Keir Starmer seen by the Guardian, the prime minister says Singh has been arbitrarily detained without formal charges being laid against him. He was arrested in 2017 over his alleged role in killings by the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), a banned terrorist organisation. His brother Gurpreet Singh Johal, who had a meeting with the Labour leader and the shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, on Thursday, hailed the admission as a breakthrough but asked why it had taken so long…. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premi Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62639233 Jagtar Singh Johal case: UK spy agencies accused of tip-off that led to torture By Frank Gardner BBC security correspondent Published 1 hour ago UK intelligence agencies are accused of tipping off Indian authorities about a British national before his abduction and alleged torture by Punjab police. Jagtar Singh Johal, from Dumbarton, was in India in 2017 when his family say he was forced into an unmarked car. He says he was then tortured over days, including with electrocution. He has remained in detention since then. Successive British prime ministers have raised his case but India's government denies he was tortured or mistreated. In May, Mr Johal was formally charged with conspiracy to commit murder and being a member of a terrorist gang. He will be presented with a full list of the charges against him next month and faces a possible death penalty. Now the human rights group Reprieve has shown the BBC documentation that it says is compelling evidence that his arrest followed a tip-off from British intelligence. Reprieve says it has matched several details relating to his case to a specific claim of mistreatment documented in a report by the watchdog that oversees the intelligence agencies. "In the course of an investigation", says the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office (IPCO) report, "MI5 passed intelligence to a liaison partner via the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). "The subject of the intelligence was arrested by the liaison partner in their country. The individual told the British Consular Official that he had been tortured." Mr Johal is not named in the report, but Reprieve's investigators are adamant the facts match his case due to the dates concerned, the lobbying by British prime ministers and supporting evidence detailed in the Indian press. In 2017, the Hindustan Times reported that Mr Johal had "come under the scanner" after "a source in the UK" provided the Punjab police with "vague information" about a key man, "Johal". The Indian authorities accuse Mr Johal of involvement in murders they claim are related to Sikh nationalism, though he denies any wrongdoing..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premi Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/richard-ratcliffe-jagtar-singh-johal-sikh-government-india-b2217016.html Ratcliffe criticises Government for taking ‘long time’ over jailed Sikh blogger Jagtar Singh Johal from Dumbarton was in Punjab in northern India for his wedding in 2017 when his family say he was bundled into an unmarked car. Rebecca Speare-Cole 1 hour ago Richard Ratcliffe at a rally on Thursday for Jagtar Singh Johal who has been jailed in India for five years (Rebecca Speare-Cole/PA) The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has criticised the Government for taking a “very long time” to resolve the case of a Scottish Sikh blogger who has been jailed in India for five years. Jagtar Singh Johal from Dumbarton was in Punjab in northern India for his wedding in 2017 when his family say he was arrested and bundled into an unmarked car. He said he has been tortured, including through electric shocks, and faces the death penalty over his activism and campaigning for Sikh human rights. MI5 and MI6 have since been accused of supplying information that led to Mr Johal’s abduction and torture. Dozens of protesters gathered opposite Downing Street on Whitehall, central London on Thursday – exactly five years since Mr Johal – known as Jaggi – was arrested..... “There was collusion from the British state in Jaggi’s arrest and experience,” he said. Mr Ratcliffe also called for people to stand in “solidarity” and make sure “no one else has to go through the same experience”.... “There are approximately 100 British citizens tortured by foreign governments each year and how many of them have you heard of? “You’ve heard of Jaggi, you’ve heard of Nazanin – most of them you haven’t.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
