“His life is in danger, especially with COVID pandemic raging in Indian prisons”
The lawyers of AgustaWestland case accused, Christian Michel, have urged the United Kingdom government to take up the issue of his release from judicial custody with the Indian government. He is currently lodged in Tihar Jail. They would again petition the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which had in February ruled that the detention of Mr. Michel, a British national, in Indian prison since December 2018 was arbitrary. The deadline for acting on the UN panel's opinion expired on May 27. India had rejected the panel's conclusions. The legal team that addressed the online press conference on Thursday included Toby Cadman, François Zimeray and Aljo K. Joseph, who represents Mr. Michel in India. His sons Alaric and Alois Michel were also present. They sought a fair trial for their father and expressed concern about his well-being.
