India’s ambassador to Qatar visited eight former navy officers who were sentenced to death in Qatar. The Indian government appealed the verdict, and the court has had two hearings so far.
The specific charges against the men have not been disclosed, but there are reports alleging espionage for Israel.
The court order is confidential, and India urges against speculation due to the case’s sensitivity. The Indian Prime Minister discussed the well-being of the Indian community in Qatar with the Qatari emir.
The arrested men, initially reported as employees of Al Dahra, are believed to be ex-naval personnel.
The case is closely monitored as it tests India’s diplomatic skills.
