VP/HR — Support for British ex-soldier

Question for written answer P-010438-14
to the Commission (Vice-President/High Representative)
Rule 130
Jonathan Arnott (EFDD)

Nicholas James Dunn from Northumberland is a 28-year-old former British soldier who was imprisoned in India on 18 October 2013, along with 34 of his colleagues, five of whom are also British ex-soldiers. Fourteen are Estonian, three Ukrainian and twelve Indian. The charges against the men were finally quashed in the High Court in Madurai on 10 July 2014, yet they are still being prevented from leaving India four months after being cleared of any wrongdoing.

What, if anything, has the EU done about this clearly unacceptable situation?
