INDIAN nurse Nimisha Priya, who was handed a death penalty in Yemen, will reportedly be executed on July 16, but her family said they have not received any information yet.
Human rights activist Samuel Jerome, who is part of the team to save her, told this paper, "a letter of execution has been issued and jail authorities have officially informed me of the date. I am now back in Yemen. There is still hope if the victim's family accepts the blood money. Some people have come forward again to help her."
