The Court of Appeal in Qatar commuted the death penalty handed down to the Indians and sentenced them to prison for varying durations on Thursday, weeks after their family members filed an appeal against the earlier order by another court.

The Navy veterans were sentenced to death by Qatar’s Court of First Instance on October 26.
