In a shocking turn of events, a court in Qatar has sentenced eight former Indian Navy officers to death. The men were working for a private firm that provided training and related services to Qatar's armed forces. They were detained in August 2022 on charges of espionage, but their trial was shrouded in secrecy. The Indian government has expressed deep shock over the verdict and said it is exploring all legal options to secure the release of the men. The case has raised concerns about the safety of Indian nationals working abroad, and has also strained relations between India and Qatar.
