The Daily Record reports on Jagtar Singh Johal’s handwritten note to Prime Minister Liz Truss, begging her not to prioritise trade deals with India over his freedom from prison in the country.
Reprieve’s Director Maya Foa said: “As Martin Luther King wrote ‘justice too long delayed is justice denied’. Jagtar has already spent almost five years in pre-trial detention with the threat of a death sentence hanging over him. United Nations legal experts and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson have stated that there is no legal basis for Jagtar’s imprisonment. The only appropriate remedy is his immediate release – and that is only likely to happen if the UK Government demands it.”
