India is “extending all possible help” to explore relevant options in the death sentence of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse who was convicted of murdering a Yemeni citizen. Reports stated that the sentence will be executed in a month’s time.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the government is aware of the sentencing of Nimisha Priya in Yemen. “We understand that the family of Priya is exploring relevant options. The government is extending all possible help in the matter,” he added.
Priya was found guilty of killing Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi and has been in prison since 2017. She was sentenced to death by a trial court in Yemen in 2018 and her family has been fighting for her release since then.
