The Convention will assess claims for compensation for damage, loss or injury caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Gurpreet's brother, Jagtar Singh Johal, was violently arrested in India 8 years ago and has been arbitrarily detained in India ever since - despite a court acquitting him in one of the nine cases against him.

Eight years ago, Scottish activist Jagtar Singh Johal was abducted off the street while on honeymoon with his wife in India.
He has been detained on charges based on a “confession” extracted under torture ever since.
The UK must apply maximum diplomatic pressure on India to secure his release.
