Navy Veterans Jailed In Qatar Reach India

Qatar released eight ex-Indian Navy personnel imprisoned on spying charges

They were arrested in August 2022

On October 26, 2023, they were sentenced to death by Qatar Court of Appeals

After India's intervention, Qatar Court commuted death sentence in December 2023

The ruling came just weeks after PM Modi's meeting with the Emir of Qatar

The Government of India welcomes the release, said MEA in a statement

The released Navy veterans lauded PM Modi and Indian Government for their effort

It wouldn't have been possible for us to stand here..., said one Navy veteran

We waited almost for 18 months to be back in India, said another ex-navy personnel
