Arbitrary detention victims urge Starmer to press Modi on jailed British Sikh Activist Jagtar Singh Johal has been held in Indian prison for nearly eight years without full trial

The PM raised Jagtar’s case with Modi during his visit to London but, the letter says, “raising the case is not enough. Ministers in the previous govt raised Jagtar’s case more than 100 times, but he remains in prison and it’s hard to see that progress was made as a result of these interventions.”

Sir Keir urged to use India trip to call for release of Briton Jagtar Singh Johal Sikh activist was detained and imprisoned by Indian authorities in 2017

Jagtar has been totally acquitted of the allegations against him after a seven-year trial. The prosecution "miserably failed" to produce any credible evidence.

Keir Starmer is uniquely well-placed to succeed where his predecessors failed, and bring Jagtar home to his family in Dumbarton.

Case of Briton detained for eight years raised with Indian leader – PM Sir Keir Starmer said he had discussed the imprisonment of Jagtar Singh Johal with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Raising the case is not enough – Jagtar should be released and on a plane home.

We have been here before, with prime ministers and foreign secretaries claiming to have ‘raised’ the case, but none of them got it done. Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper must succeed where their predecessors failed

What I Want the Comedians Who Went to Saudi Arabia to Know There were only eight executions during the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

"Journalist Turki al-Jasser was arrested, tortured, convicted on terrorism charges and executed for his anonymous satirical Twitter account poking fun at the regime. Like all dictators, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is terrified of comedians, and having a laugh at his expense is a capital crime.”

'Scotland will not be UK's nuclear playground', says Kate Forbes The deputy first minister said nuclear energy will 'take longer, be more expensive, increase bills' and leave 'dangerous waste'.

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Ahmed Abu Aziz was more than a colleague. He was a brother and friend A few months ago, I asked him to send me a quote about a journalist colleague who was killed. He asked me: 'What will you write about me when I die?'

'I called Ahmed's number, hoping against hope he would pick up. A friend of his answered his mobile. I asked him if Ahmed was alive. He said he might have been killed, but he would check...

“I am on my way to bury my other friends,” he said.'

Firas Said Vishah, whose entire family was martyred in the genocide committed by the occupying Israeli terrorists in Gaza, said:
"I had a family of seven. All of them were martyred. I'm trying to live with their memories..."

After an airstrike by the occupying Israeli terrorists on the home of the Sahlul family in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the bodies of children are being pulled from under the rubble...

#Gazagenocide

Bad news;

Bodies lie on the streets...
Cries of people echo...
Blood is everywhere...

Anywhere in the world, in any era, humanity would rise up...

But worse than all this.
Sadly, it has been normalized.
It’s not even considered newsworthy anymore...

“Israel’s genocidal campaign moved to the West Bank during the ceasefire in Gaza and amidst the silence of the international community.”

“We cannot afford to wait until the West Bank is turned into rubble like Gaza, before intervening.”

—UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

Spain’s Ione Belarra:

“Netanyahu has no intention of ending his plan to exterminate the Palestinian people.”

“It is imperative to maintain all political and social pressure so that Netanyahu is tried, sent to prison, and the genocide comes to an end.”

Albanese calls for Starmer and others to be investigated for complicity with Israel's war crimes Francesca Albanese believes the UK violated its obligations under international law - and that our politicians should face the consequences
