A group of 16 Scottish Labour MPs have signed a letter to the Prime Minister urging him to bring Jagtar Singh Johal, who is arbitrarily detained in India, back home.
The letter was delivered to Keir Starmer on the seventh anniversary of Jagtar’s arrest, reports the Independent, which quotes from the letter:
“We ask you to make securing Jagtar’s release a priority, and ensure your Government does whatever it takes to bring him home to his family in Dumbarton.”
Gurpreet Singh Johal, Jagtar’s brother, said: “I am grateful to MPs for continuing to keep the pressure on to get Jagtar back home. It is evidential that this means a lot to them and their constituents for them to sign this, urging the Prime Minister to bring him back home from his arbitrary detention.”
