Jagtar Johal was accused of 11 different cases back in 2017, he was given bail on three of them and most recently 1 has been dropped off of him. He was quite literally sweeped off the streets and he was taken into custody accusing him to be a part of a terrorist group, but many human rights experts from the UN claim that his detention was arbitrary and they are demanding for his immediate release. Even this brother is claiming that his brother is innocent since the day he was convicted, saying that he was tortured into signing confessions papers. Johal has been in prison for 7 years now and will stay in prison until the other cases are dropped or until he gets the death penalty. But his future is quite uncertain but there are many in the UK(his hometown) that are advocating for his release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As someone who lives in America, I have conflicting feelings about the innocent until proven guilty. Based on the case, sometimes it is deadly obvious that the accused person is the criminal but law enforcements can\u2019t just arrest them without the hardest proof. Which I understand, but again I look at some of these cases and it is quite obvious who it was, but because of the law they can\u2019t convict and arrest them until then. But in this case I am not sure I don’t have enough evidence to form my opinion but it all ties down to how other countries do things very differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can kinda feel the rage from the ones that claim that Johal is innocent. But It also makes me wonder if they know what Indian law enforcements know. There was said that there was evidence of him giving money to a terrorist group, the KLA. There are some sort of secrets that are not released to the public, I don\u2019t think that India would blindly in prison someone without a Good cause. And whether or not he was innocent until proven guilty or vice versa he was convicted. On the outside, I do agree with the protests that are happening in the UK but again I don’t think they have hold of some information that India might have access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This relates to when we were talking about Terrorism. Whether that be groups or governments called terrorism, etc. This would be a non-state actor. Again this falls closely with my last blog posts. But it is very interesting to see how other countries deal with crime. Because in America, I\u2019ve always seen prisons as adult time out. A lot of people do a crime, they serve time and then they are free. But at the same time we are one of the countries that use the death penalty more than other countries. Other countries go to alternatives like caning someone or even giving them life in prison for something we would believe is minor. In other countries it may be guilty until proven Innocent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
