Clamour growing for govt intervention to save Nimisha
The New Indian Express Kannur
|July 10, 2025
UNCERTAINTY surrounds the reported execution date of Nimisha Priya, the Malayali nurse sentenced to death in Yemen for the murder of a Yemeni national.
Over the past two days, multiple media have claimed that her execution has been scheduled for July 16. However, there is no official confirmation from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or the Indian Embassy so far.
The initial reports were sparked by a statement from Samuel Jerome Bhaskaran, an Indian national who has lived in Yemen for over two decades and has been involved in negotiating a settlement with the victim's family through the payment of blood money. Bhaskaran told TNIE over the phone that he received a call two days ago from the chairman of the Central Prison in Sana'a, who confirmed that the execution order had been issued.
