The execution of 37-year-old nurse from Kerala, Nimisha Priya, which was scheduled for July 16 has been postponed in Yemen, following "concerted efforts" by the Government of India, sources told ANI on Tuesday, citing local authorities.
The 37-year-old Indian nurse from Kerala is scheduled to be executed on July 16. The trial court in Yemen convicted her of killing a Yemeni national, a decision that the country's Supreme Judicial Council upheld in November 2023.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday confirmed its awareness of the death sentence handed to Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse in Yemen, and assured that the government is providing all possible assistance.
