The Qatari Court has decided to commute the death sentences of eight former Indian naval officers imprisoned in Qatar, reducing their punishment to jail terms, according to the Ministry of External Affairs. The naval officers were arrested last year in the Dahra Global case and have been detained since October 2022. They were accused of spying on a submarine program, and their sentences were initially death penalties. The detailed judgment on the case is still awaited, and the ministry is in close contact with the legal team in Qatar. The Ministry of External Affairs has assured the families of the former naval officers that it will continue to provide consular and legal assistance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, discussed the bilateral partnership and the well-being of the Indian community residing in Qatar during a meeting.
