英国籍锡克教徒贾格塔·辛格·乔哈尔于2017年11月4日在印度旁遮普邦被逮捕,被指控资助哈里斯坦解放力量从事有针对性的杀害活动1。经历长达9年的羁押和多次延期审判后,德里法院近日批准了他的保释申请1。尽管控方未能提供可验证的证据且旁遮普法院去年已驳回类似的共谋指控,乔哈尔仍面临包括死刑在内的8项指控1。
乔哈尔曾声称遭刑讯逼供并被拒绝会见律师1。英国政府近期任命埃利斯泰尔·伯特为复杂领事案件特使,该特使已与乔哈尔的兄长格普瑞特·乔哈尔会面1。
A Delhi court has approved bail for Jagjit Singh Johal, a British Sikh from Scotland, following nearly nine years of detention in India 1. Johal was arrested on November 4, 2017, in Punjab state on allegations that he financed targeted killings carried out by the Khalistan Liberation Force 1.
Throughout his imprisonment, court proceedings have been repeatedly delayed, and prosecutors have failed to produce verifiable evidence to support the charges 1. Despite these setbacks, Johal remains accused of eight offenses, including charges that carry the death penalty 1. A Punjab court dismissed similar conspiracy allegations against him last year 1. Johal has alleged that he was subjected to torture and denied access to legal counsel during his detention 1. The United Kingdom government recently appointed Alastair Burt as envoy for complex consular cases and has engaged with Johal's brother, Gurpreet Johal, regarding the matter 1.
