India Appeals Qatar's Death Sentence for Eight Navy Veterans

India has filed an appeal with Qatar over the death penalty given to eight former Navy personnel who were arrested in August last year for unknown reasons and sentenced last month. The Indian government has expressed shock at the verdict and is providing legal and consular support to the families of the convicted individuals. The sailors, who include decorated officers, were working for a private firm providing training to Qatar's armed forces. Media reports suggest they have been accused of spying for Israel, a claim vehemently denied by their families.
