British blogger Jagtar Singh Johal granted bail in India after nine years in detention

A British man who has been held in India for almost nine years without conviction has been granted bail, although he still faces trial on serious alleged terror-related offences. Jagtar Singh Johal, 39, from Dumbarton in Scotland, was arrested in Punjab in 2017, just two weeks after his wedding, according to his family. His brother, Gurpreet Singh Johal, confirmed that the Delhi High Court has overturned a previous 2024 ruling and approved bail, describing the decision as a major milestone in the long-running campaign for his release. Lawyers acting for Mr Johal indicated that he must satisfy bail conditions, which may include providing a surety bond, covering costs and reporting regularly to a local police station. He is not expected to return to Scotland immediately, as he must remain in India until his trial concludes and he is acquitted. His family believe he was targeted for blogging about alleged human rights abuses against the Sikh community, and they say he was tortured, including with electric shocks, and forced to sign a confession relating to an assassination plot. While Mr Johal was acquitted last year of charges of financially supporting a terror group, he could still face federal offences connected to the same allegations and, if convicted, the death penalty. A group of UN experts has described his imprisonment as arbitrary detention and said he has endured psychological torture. Indian authorities have denied allegations of torture and insist due process is being followed. Mr Johal's family and his MP, Douglas McAllister, welcomed the bail decision as a breakthrough after years of campaigning, and are now pushing for the swift conclusion of all outstanding cases so he can return home.

Labor government clarifies migration detention plan to avoid US-style enforcement comparisons

The Australian government, led by Immigration Minister Tony Burke, has defended its plan to detain visa overstayers in Australia, emphasizing that the approach does not mirror the immigration enforcement tactics used by former US President Donald Trump. The policy, part of a broader migration overhaul, aims to address the approximately 77,000 unlawful non-citizens currently in the country. Under the new system, individuals who overstay their visas will be placed in detention for a limited period, with the government encouraging them to depart voluntarily. Burke stated that the plan reverts to pre-2015 migration detention practices, which had previously detained visa overstayers rather than focusing solely on criminal offenders. The minister made a veiled reference to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations during a speech at the National Press Club, stating, 'This is not the sort of operation that some people have seen on TV happening in other countries.' Humanitarian groups have raised concerns about the potential for family separations and the detention of children, citing historical issues with Australia's pre-2015 detention regime, which saw over 1,100 children held in detention without education for extended periods. Former Australian Human Rights Commission head Gillian Triggs described the previous system as a 'horrific pipeline' that caused severe mental and physical harm to children. While a 2023 High Court decision outlawed indefinite detention without a reasonable prospect of return, it remains unclear how this applies to the new policy. The plan also includes hiring 100 new compliance officers, freeing up 250 detention beds, and potentially repurposing a 100-bed quarantine facility near Melbourne Airport. The Refugee Council of Australia notes that filling these new capacities would nearly double Australia's current migrant detention population of 1,100. Critics, including Asylum Seeker Resource Centre CEO Kon Karapanagiotidis, have drawn parallels to US-style ICE crackdowns, arguing that detaining people in facilities is 'brutal' and questioning the government's intent. Burke described the proposed system as 'modest,' explaining that overstayers would receive a bridging visa before entering detention, with the expectation that they would leave Australia after the bridging visa period. The government maintains that the current system has allowed visa overstayers to adopt a 'wait-and-see' attitude, and the new measures aim to address this by making it clear that overstaying a visa carries consequences. The policy has sparked debate, with some arguing it addresses a genuine issue while others warn of potential human rights violations and a return to outdated practices.
