Starmer urged to intervene in ‘rigged’ Indian prosecution of British human rights activist
Four senior lawyers, including former attorney general Dominic Grieve, have urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to request India drop charges against British national Jagtar Singh Johal, arguing the prosecution violates the double jeopardy rule. Johal, held in India for eight years, was acquitted in 2023 for failing to present reliable evidence in a Punjab court case.
