Jagtar Singh Johal Career Highlight:

Jagtar Singh Johal started his career as an online activist and contributed to a magazine and website documenting the alleged persecution of the Sikhs in India. He wrote about historical human rights violations against Sikhs, such as the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the Operation Blue Star, and the Khalistan movement. He also supported the cause of Sikh self-determination and independence from India.

He travelled to India in October 2017 for his wedding with Gurpreet Kaur Johal, a woman he met online. They got married in a Sikh ceremony in Punjab on 18 October 2017. On 4 November 2017, he was arrested by the Punjab police while shopping with his wife in Jalandhar. He has been in detention ever since.

He is accused of being involved in eight cases of murder and attempted murder of Hindu leaders and activists in Punjab between 2016 and 2017. He is also accused of being a member of a banned terrorist group called Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) and of funding and facilitating its activities from abroad. He is charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Arms Act, and the Explosive Substances Act.

He has denied all the charges against him and claimed that he was tortured and forced to sign blank confessions by the police. He has also alleged that he was denied proper legal representation and access to his family and consular officials. His family and supporters have maintained that he is innocent and that he was targeted for his views and writings on Sikh issues. They have also appealed to the UK government and international human rights groups to intervene in his case and secure his release.

He has not been brought to trial yet and his case is still pending in various courts. He has been repeatedly denied bail by the courts despite his deteriorating health condition. He has also been transferred to different jails across Punjab without prior notice or explanation. His lawyer has filed several petitions challenging his arrest, detention, and treatment by the authorities.

In July 2021, he was granted interim bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on humanitarian grounds to attend his grandmother’s funeral in Scotland. However, he was not allowed to leave India as his passport was confiscated by the police. He returned to jail after attending the funeral via video call.

In September 2021, he was attacked by two inmates at Amritsar Central Jail, where he was lodged at that time. He suffered injuries on his face, head, and chest and was taken to a hospital for treatment. His lawyer alleged that it was a planned attack by the jail authorities to silence him.

In November 2021, he was shifted to Patiala Central Jail after his lawyer filed a petition seeking his safety and security. His lawyer also requested the court to expedite his trial and grant him bail.
