Is Nimisha Priya’s Death Sentence Really Cancelled? What’s the Truth?

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has denied claims that the death sentence of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse convicted of murder in Yemen, has been revoked. Earlier, the office of Grand Mufti Kanthapuram AP Abubakar Musliyar stated that her sentence had been officially cancelled following a high-level meeting in Sanaa. However, they later clarified that no official written confirmation has been received from Yemeni authorities. Nimisha, who moved to Yemen in 2008, had entered a business partnership with Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi. Their relationship deteriorated after alleged harassment, and in an attempt to retrieve her passport, she reportedly sedated Mahdi, resulting in his death from a suspected overdose in 2017. Convicted in 2018, she was sentenced to death in 2020. Although her execution was initially scheduled for July 16, it was halted following diplomatic appeals by Indian officials and religious leaders, leading to a temporary suspension of the sentence.
