The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said an appeal has been filed against the death penalty awarded to eight Indians by a Qatari court last month.
In October, a court in Qatar sentenced as many as eight former Indian Navy personnel to death who were detained in the country for over a year. In August 2022, Qatar detained the former Indian Navy officers on suspicion of working as spies for Israel while they were employed by a company in Qatar.
