Original: British Sikh activist released from Delhi jail after nine-year detention https://www. theguardian.com/world/2026/oct /01
Jagtar Singh Johal, a British Sikh activist detained in Delhi since 2017, has been released from an Indian jail after nine years in custody. He had been held on terror-related charges in a case that drew sustained criticism from rights groups and his family, who argued he was wrongfully imprisoned. His release ends a long diplomatic standoff between the UK and India over his detention.
Why now: The release ends a high-profile nine-year case that had been a persistent source of tension between the UK and India.
