"Police in India claim to have lost a wedding ring belonging to jailed Brition Jagatar Singh Johal, who has now spent eight years behind bars over terror allegations. Johal, a 38-year-old Dumbarton-based campaigner for Sikh rights, was detained in India's Punjab state eight years ago on Tuesday in 2017 just weeks after his wedding, over accusations of involvement with the banned Sikh separatist Khalistani Liberation Force."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while soliciting donations to fund reporters and avoid paywalls. Jagatar Singh Johal, a 38-year-old Dumbarton-based Sikh rights campaigner, was detained in Punjab, India, in 2017 weeks after his wedding on accusations of involvement with the banned Khalistani Liberation Force. He has spent eight years in custody, was acquitted earlier this year on one charge, but still faces eight other federal charges that supporters call duplicate and weak. A UN panel found his detention arbitrary in May 2022. His family alleges torture, including electric shocks and forced signing of a blank document used as a confession. The Indian government denies mistreatment and police say they lost his wedding ring.
