London: In a somewhat stinging, apparently unanimous 16-page indictment issued on February 22, the United Nationsâ Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) found the Narendra Modi government culpable on every count on complaints made in the matter of extraditing and imprisoning without a trial British businessman Christian Michel.
It also warned there will be consequences if the Indian government did not comply with its direction to release him immediately. The order is likely to be made public later this week, but this correspondent has obtained advanced sight of it.
