In Qatar, a court has sentenced eight former Indian Navy personnel to death on charges of espionage. Among the convicts is Commander (retired) Purnendu Tiwari, a decorated officer who had commanded significant Indian warships.
All eight individuals, accused of spying for Israel, had been employed by Al Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services, a private company that offered training and related services to Qatar’s armed forces and security agencies. They were detained by Qatari authorities for over a year, during which their numerous bail requests were rejected.
