Sunak must act to end 'arbitrary detention' of Scot jailed in India, says SNP MP

AN SNP MP will call on the UK government to urgently act on the imprisonment of his West Dunbartonshire constituent, Jagtar Singh Johal, who has been detained in India for more than five years.

Martin Docherty-Hughes MP will use a general debate at Westminster to call for Johal’s immediate release, stating that the legal case around his arbitrary detention is now beyond doubt.

Despite Boris Johnson previously acknowledging the arbitrary detention of Johal – also known as Jaggi - and Liz Truss meeting with the family last year, Rishi Sunak has yet to reach out since becoming Prime Minister.
