The case of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse facing execution in Yemen on July 16th for murdering a Yemeni national in 2017, has reached a critical juncture. The Indian government informed the Supreme Court that despite diplomatic efforts, including recent talks with Yemeni authorities, no reprieve has been granted. Options like blood money acceptance by the victim's family or a presidential pardon seem unlikely. The case is complicated by Yemen's legal system and the fact that Nimisha is held in Houthi-controlled Sanaa, where India lacks diplomatic representation. Activists and lawyers are making last-minute appeals, but time is running out.
