Qatar's appeal court has formally accepted the individual appeals of eight ex-Indian Navy men facing the death penalty, with assistance from India. This development brings a new ray of hope for the former Navy personnel who were working with Al Dahra and were arrested in August last year on allegations of espionage. The death sentences were handed down by Qatar’s Court of First Instance on Oct 26, prompting India to express shock and vow to explore all legal options. The appeal against the death sentences was filed shortly after the ruling, and the Indian government is actively engaged in securing the release of its nationals. The next hearing for the appeals is expected soon, according to sources. India remains committed to providing legal and consular assistance to its citizens, and ongoing diplomatic efforts are underway to seek justice and release for the ex-Navy personnel.
