Execution of Indian Nurse Nimisha Priya Postponed Amid Ongoing Diplomatic Efforts

Indian nurse Nimisha Priya’s execution in Yemen has been postponed, according to officials quoted by ANI. Indian authorities are reportedly in regular contact with Yemeni jail and prosecution officials to delay the sentence. Priya was convicted in the 2017 killing of her Yemeni business partner, whom she claimed she accidentally killed while trying to retrieve her confiscated passport. The victim’s family has rejected an ₹8.5 crore blood money offer. The Supreme Court recently heard a plea from a support group urging the Centre to negotiate diplomatically. The Indian government says it is making efforts despite Yemen’s political sensitivity.
