Nimisha Priya Case: The Ministry of External Affairs has once again rejected the claim of Kanthapuram AP Abubacker Musliyar that there has been an agreement to cancel the death sentence of Malayali nurse Nimisha Priya, who is imprisoned in Yemen. Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal asked not to spread false information on this issue, which needs to be handled carefully.
As stated earlier, the Central Government is continuing its efforts in this regard, including with the help of some friendly countries.
Randhir Jaiswal said that there is a need to refrain from spreading rumors regarding the Nimisha Priya case, adding that it is a very emotional issue and continuous efforts are being made, and as a result, the execution of the death sentence has been postponed. Randhir Jaiswal said that we should wait to get accurate information from the Center in this regard.
Kerala-born nurse Nimisha Priya was convicted in Yemen in 2018 for the murder and dismemberment of her local business partner, Talal Abdo Mahdi, in an attempt to reclaim her passport and documents. Initially sentenced to death, her appeal was rejected by Yemen’s Supreme Judicial Council in 2023. Under Sharia law, her only possible route to freedom lies in securing a pardon from Mahdi’s family through the payment of diyah (blood money), negotiators have pursued this path with support from India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
