10,000 Indians Jailed Abroad Freed In A Decade

10,000 Indians Jailed Abroad Freed In A Decade

Like nationals of many other countries, thousands of Indians too, have been languishing in prisons overseas – some for a few years, some for decades.

Many of those prisoners were in jail for petty reasons – like fishermen, who unknowingly ventured into the territorial waters of a neighbouring nation, or villagers who inadvertently crossed an unmarked border post, or travellers who accidentally overstayed their visa limit. Over the last decade the Government of India has stepped up efforts to bring back such Indian nationals and allow them a fresh start. While the Ministry of External Affairs, through …
