"Qatar Death Row: Ambassador Meets Families of Indian Navy Veterans"
The Indian ambassador to Qatar has met with eight former Indian Navy personnel who are currently on death row, with two hearings having taken place on their appeal against the capital punishment. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has described the ruling as "deeply" shocking and has vowed to explore all legal options in the case. The ambassador has been granted consular access to the prisoners and India is closely following the matter, providing legal and consular assistance. The charges against the Indian nationals, who worked with private company Al Dahra, have not been made public by either the Qatari authorities or New Delhi.
