Manish Tewari says question on 8 former navy personnel sentenced to death in Qatar disallowed

India's envoy to Qatar met eight ex-Navy personnel - sentenced to death in October for reasons still not known - on Sunday, the government said this afternoon. External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "Our Ambassador got consular access to meet all eight in prison on December 3." On India's appeal against the death sentence, Mr Bagchi said, "There have been two hearings so far (these were held on November 23 and November 30). We are closely following the matter and extending all legal and consular assistance. This is a sensitive issue, but we will do whatever we can." #IndianEnvoy #QatarMeeting #NavyVeterans #DeathRowDiplomacy #HumanRights #JusticeForAll #DiplomacyInAction #InternationalRelations #QatarIndiaDialogue #Advocacy #PeacefulResolution #GlobalConcerns #DiplomaticEfforts #IndianDiplomacy #NavyVetsRights #QatarJustice #HumanitarianEfforts ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.124~
