The Court of First Instance in Qatar has issued a death penalty verdict for eight former naval officers detained in Doha, according to the Ministry of External Affairs. The MEA expressed its profound shock at the decision and is currently awaiting the comprehensive judgment. In an official press release, the MEA revealed, "We have received preliminary information that the Court of First Instance in Qatar has delivered a verdict today in the case involving 8 Indian employees of Al Dahra company. We are deeply shocked by the death penalty verdict and are eagerly anticipating the detailed judgment. We are in close contact with the families and legal counsel, actively exploring all available legal avenues."
