We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
At this point, it's hard to discern whether LI is full of dumb 1st year law students, or proper graduates with the intelligence and awareness of a first year law student. The latter seems to be true and is so much worse.
Qatari courts are no different from Taliban/ISIS village dikats.
just because the right wing says something doesnt mean theyre wrong- even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Our media as usual is going to town about it. The humanitarian aspect aside (I don't support death penalty), should Indian Govt intervene in this case? I think 2 reasons they should not:
1. The 8 retd naval officers were working in Qatar in their private capacities after retirement. They were not (as far as we can tell) RAW operatives or Indian Govt undercover spies. So they voluntarily took the risk.
2. If a group of Qataris were caught in India spying for Pakistan while claiming to run a business, would Indian Govt not prosecute them in the same way?
