The government is providing all possible assistance to Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse facing a death sentence in Yemen, the Ministry of External Affairs said Thursday, confirming that the death sentence, originally scheduled for July 16, 2025, has been postponed.
He declared that he would not pardon Nimisha Priya, who was convicted of killing his brother. According to reports, Talal’s brother remains adamant that there will be no compromise in the matter and that the family has refused diyat (blood money). “We will not succumb to any pressure,” he asserted.
Priya was convicted of murdering a Yemeni national and sentenced to death with her execution scheduled for Wednesday.
After collecting the money, it will be transferred through the Ministry of External Affairs to the Indian Embassy in Sanaa.
