As we had often come back to discussing economic benefits/impact of sports I thought it was about time for an economic discussion forum.

Eight former Indian Navy officers get death penalty in Qatar

Post by Saffron Lenin »

Eight former Indian Navy personnel, who had been employed by a company in Doha, were handed the death penalty by a local court in Doha on October 26 in an alleged case of espionage. The Indian government expressed its shock at the verdict, and said all legal options were being explored.

“We are deeply shocked by the verdict of death penalty and are awaiting the detailed judgement. We are in touch with the family members and the legal team, and we are exploring all legal options. We attach high importance to this case, and have been following it closely. We will continue to extend all consular and legal assistance,” the MEA statement said, adding that India would take up the matter with the Qatari authorities.
