Campaigners urge David Lammy to push for citizen's release from Indian jail
Members of the Free Jaggi Now Campaign hand in a petition to 10 Downing Street, London, to mark five years of the arrest of Jagtar Singh Johal (Jaggi), November 3, 2022
SIKH campaigners have called on the Foreign Secretary to use his first trip to India next week to push for the release of detained British citizen Jagtar Singh Johal.
Mr Johal, from Scotland, was in Punjab in northern India for his wedding in 2017 when his family said he was arrested and bundled into an unmarked car.
He is said to have been tortured, including with electric shocks, and faces the death penalty as a result of his campaigning for Sikh rights.
