Government Limited in Efforts to Save Nimisha Priya from Execution in Yemen
The Indian government acknowledges its limited options in securing the release or preventing the execution of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse facing execution in Yemen. Despite efforts, diplomatic hurdles and the private nature of negotiations pose challenges. Nimisha's case involves allegations of a crime committed in self-defense, but the impending execution remains a concern. Various appeals, including from Kerala Chief Minister and Congress leader, seek urgent intervention to save her life.
The government informed the Supreme Court that it had limited options to secure the release or prevent the execution of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya in Yemen on July 16. The government stated that diplomatic constraints in Yemen and ongoing private negotiations for 'blood money' were hindering their efforts.
Nimisha Priya, accused of drugging and murdering her business partner in Yemen, has been unsuccessful in appealing the charges due to the complex diplomatic situation in the region. Despite attempts by various entities, including the Indian government, no breakthrough has been achieved.
Her family's negotiations for blood money, seen as the only option to halt the execution, have faced resistance from the victim's family. The government emphasized that they have reached their limit in assisting Priya due to the sensitive nature of the situation in Yemen.
Nimisha Priya's case has garnered attention from Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Congress leader KC Venugopal, both urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and prevent the execution. However, the government reiterated the challenges posed by the diplomatic complexities in Yemen.
