8/ - Help us in calling the UK Government to bring Jagtar home to his family – Sign here 🔗 secure.reprieve.org/page/75181/p...

7/8 - This is why we need to keep the pressure on. With the help of this amazing community, we know we can make our simple but urgent goal happen: to bring Jagtar home to his family in Dumbarton, Scotland.

6/8 - International and Indian law prevents people from being tried for the same crime twice. As he’s been fully acquitted in one of nine almost identical cases, the remaining cases should be dropped.

5/8 – Despite this, Jagtar did not walk free, as he still faces 8 almost identical cases based on the same torture 'confession'.

4/8 - 8 years later, he still in detention and living with the threat of a death sentence. But there is hope.

Reprieve has been working on Jagtar’s case for over 5 years. And in March of this year, in the first of 9 cases against him, a Punjab court acquitted Jagtar of all charges.

3/8 - In November 2017, whilst in India to get married, he was abducted off the street by plain clothes police officers and tortured until he signed a blank piece of paper later presented by the authorities as a “confession”.

2/8 - Before his arrest, British blogger Jagtar Singh Johal was a passionate activist who drew attention to historic human rights abuses against India’s Sikh population.

Enough is enough. Will you email your MP today and join our call?

- Condemn this execution
- Call for a full moratorium on executions in Saudi Arabia, and in particular the executions of child defendants
- Provide written assurances that the UK Government is not providing security support that is contributing to the executions of child defendants

We understand that despite this rapidly intensifying execution crisis in Saudi Arabia, the British government has recently conducted security meetings with the Saudi Government.

Today, we call on the Government to:

Abdullah was the 300th person executed by Saudi Arabia this year.

On Tuesday, we had more devastating news, the executions of Mohamed Saad and Omar Sherif, both for drug offences.

This despite a promised stay of execution and case review, supposedly ordered by Crown Prince MBS himself.

He was tortured and forced to sign a false confession stating that he was part of a terrorist group.

In April 2025 UN legal experts called on Saudi Arabia to immediately release child defendants from death row. Instead, they executed Jalal al-Labbad, and now Abdullah.

6/6 - As states rush to execute more people, it’s more important than ever to fight back, expose abuses and demand justice.

5/6 - Lethal injection - the dominant method of execution in the US - regularly goes wrong causing horrific pain for condemned prisoners.

The death penalty doesn’t work – it merely perpetuates a cycle of violence. There is no ‘humane’ way to execute someone.

4/6 - This disturbing trend isn’t just at a national level. It will be the 8th execution in Florida this year.

Florida has never executed 9 people in a single year since capital punishment resumed in 1976 – and there’s another execution scheduled later this month.
