Shehzadi, who came to work in Dubai, was sentenced to death. She was accused of killing an innocent, which she used to take care of. In the UAE, two more Indian citizens were recently sentenced to death. Both were residents of Kerala. These cases are not rare, but many Indians are waiting for the death sentence in foreign jails. The government itself admitted that 54 Indian citizens were sentenced in a total of 54 Indian citizens in UAE and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Yemen. But is this condition only for Indians, or continue to treat everyone like this?
According to government data, more than ten thousand Indians are currently in jails around the world. There are also those who have proved criminals, whose trial is going on. By the way, this number can also be more because there are many countries who do not share these data citing privacy.
How many Indians in foreign captivity
Saudi has the highest number of 2,633 prisoners. This is followed by UAE with 2,518 prisoners. After this, most of the Indians are in the jails of neighboring countries. There are Indian prisoners in Western countries, but the number is quite low.
Death offerings to many in Gulf countries
Currently, 29 Indians in UAE and 12 in Saudi are in Death Row. At the same time, 3 are in Kuwait, and each in Qatar and Yemen.
In which crimes within bars
Gulf also has the highest Indian in the United Arab Emirates jails. Most of them are the same crimes. Almost all drugs, alcohols were found associated with crime. Please tell that in these Muslim -dominated countries, there is a ban on alcohol and any kind of intoxication. Apart from this, Indians going for work in Gulf countries are sometimes caught in economic fraud. Most are less educated people, who are unable to keep evidence in their favor. In such a situation, they remain in jail for a long time.
Penalty for negligence is also being punished
Talking about neighboring countries, often people accidentally cross the border. For example, the border between India or Nepal or India-Pakistan is long, but not firm fencing everywhere. Many about the shepherds reach from here in search of their animals and are arrested due to lack of evidence. The same thing continued to apply in the case of maritime border. It is often reported that Indian fishermen were taken captive due to reaching the border of another country. Other countries investigate that if they are not a spy, it is released only after comfort. It takes years only.
What does the government help
As soon as the Indian mission comes to know that a citizen has been lodged in a foreign jail, he immediately comes into action. He is contacted through local administration, and find out what the case is actually. After this, if it is necessary from a lawyer to him, then steps like talks with the government are also taken.
Transfer can also be done in jails here
Apart from this, India has signed an agreement with 31 countries. Under the Transfer of Sentenced Persons (TSP), Indians who are punished abroad can be brought to them. They will serve the rest of the punishment in the jails of India. This agreement was done so that the prisoners could get their environment and food, as well as they can meet their families time and time. India also does this with foreign prisoners. TSP does not apply only to those prisoners who have been hanged.
Why death sentence is found in Arab countries
Sharia law is applicable there, in which only death penalty is given for some crimes. For example, in the murder case. However, it has a twist. According to Islamic law, the victims can decide what punishment should be given to the criminal. They have the right to forgive the killer by taking money. It is also called blood money. But if the family wants to die, then the court does the same. Even if the victim family leaves the case on the court, it can be hanged, as in the case of princess.
These crimes can also be hanged
Apart from murder, the crime of smuggling drugs can also be punished in UAE, Saudi, Iran and Qatar. Saudi and Iran give similar punishment for rape, sexual exploitation of minor and marriage after marriage. Terrorism, conspiracy against the country, can be decorated on the attempt to work, espionage, or to do the work that shake the government. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and UAE can also get the biggest punishment for homosexuality.
Apart from India, citizens of other countries have also been sentenced to death in Gulf countries. This includes countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia and Ethiopia. Most cases are serious crimes such as murder, drug smuggling and sexual offenses.
What kind of attitude with the vest
The UAE, Iran and Saudi had also sentenced citizens of Western countries to death in similar cases but after international pressure, the sentence in several cases was reduced. At the same time, due to diplomatic intervention in many places, death was converted into life imprisonment. There are only a few cases, where the Gulf countries hanged the citizens of western countries.
