The eight Indian Navy veterans who were facing the death penalty in Qatar have had their sentences commuted to an unspecified number of years in prison by a higher court. The Indian government will continue to provide legal and consular assistance to the accused and may use a 2015 agreement with Qatar for the transfer of sentenced persons. The veterans were held on charges of passing sensitive information to Israel about a Qatari submarine project.
