A Scottish activist who has spent eight years in "arbitrary detention" in India is enduring "a form of psychological torture", United Nations experts have said.
Jagtar Singh Johal, from Dumbarton, was arrested by Indian authorities in 2017, just weeks after his wedding in the country, and has been detained there ever since.
The 39-year-old was acquitted last year in a case in which he was accused of financially supporting a terror group, but he still faces federal charges by the Indian authorities.
Ten UN experts have now released a statement calling on the Indian government to drop the remaining charges and release Johal without delay.
The experts, who include members of a UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, said there was no rationale for the continued detention of Jagtar Singh Johal, and that the case reflects a "profound miscarriage of justice".
