Qatar has released all eight former Indian Navy personnel from its custody, with seven having already returned to India, as per a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs. The MEA strongly applauds the decision of the Qatari court to release these ex-Indian Navy men, who were initially sentenced to death, celebrating their successful homecoming.Diplomatic negotiations between Qatar and India successfully led to the commutation of the Indian Navy veterans' death sentences to extended prison terms. Appeals from the relatives of the jailed individuals played a pivotal role in influencing the decision to shorten their prison terms.The combined efforts resulted in the practical reduction of the prison term for the Indian Navy veterans. The overarching goal of achieving prompt repatriation was realized through coordinated diplomatic efforts and responsive actions.
