Doha freed eight Indian Navy veterans who had been given death sentences in Qatar on Monday, marking a significant diplomatic win for India.
After New Delhi’s diplomatic intervention, the death penalty was earlier commuted to a longer prison sentence. The anxious family of the Navy veterans had begged for their release and a safe return to their country, and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had promised to use all diplomatic channels as well as set up legal support to get them back.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced in an official statement on Monday that seven of the eight former Navy officers have already returned to India.
The decision to release the veteran officers was welcomed by the Union government, which issued an official statement stating, “The Government of India welcomes the release of eight Indian nationals working for the Dahra Global company who were detained in Qatar. Seven out of the eight of them have returned to India. We appreciate the decision by the Amir of the State of Qatar to enable the release and home-coming of these nationals.”
