Humza Yousaf has pledged to do “everything he can” to bring home a Scot who has been detained for five years in an Indian jail.
The First Minister met with the family of Jagtar Singh Johal, 35, on Tuesday and discussed his predicament, five years after he was arrested in Punjab, northern India.
Jagtar, from Dumbarton, says he has been subjected to torture and faces the death penalty over his activism and campaigning for Sikh human rights. He is accused of involvement in a number of political killings in Punjab, but a panel of UN legal experts has found that his detention is arbitrary.
