Indian Nurse Awaits Pardon to Escape Death Row in Yemen

Final Hope for Indian Nurse on Death Row Lies in Pardon from Yemeni FamilyWith just days left until her scheduled execution on July 16, Indian nurse Nimisha Priya is holding onto one final hope — a pardon from the family of the Yemeni man she was convicted of killing.

Activist Babu John, part of the Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council, revealed that Priya’s family has offered $1 million (approx. AED 3.67 million) in diya (blood money) to the victim’s family in a desperate bid to save her life.

Nimisha moved to Yemen in 2008 to support her family back home, eventually launching her own clinic. As per local regulations, she entered into a business partnership with a Yemeni national, Talal Abdo Mehdi. The relationship reportedly turned abusive, and events spiraled into a tragic confrontation.

Now imprisoned, Nimisha has been serving fellow inmates as a nurse while awaiting her fate. Her story has sparked international outcry and a renewed push from activists and the Indian diaspora to appeal for mercy.

Her only chance at survival lies in forgiveness from Talal's family — a decision that could rewrite the ending of a case filled with pain, injustice, and complexity.
