Kozhikode: Reports have suggested that a crucial meeting is underway in Yemen pertaining to the fate of Nimish Priya, a Malayali nurse facing the death penalty in connection with the 2017 murder of Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi.
According to sources, the meeting is being led by renowned Sufi scholar Sheikh Habib Umar bin Hafiz and is reportedly attended by a judge from the Yemeni Supreme Court and the brother of the deceased. Sheikh Habib Umar bin Hafiz is said to have offered to mediate in the matter following discussions with Indian Islamic scholar Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar.
Nimisha Priya, a native of Kollengode in Palakkad, Kerala, was arrested in July 2017 for the murder of her Yemeni business partner. She was sentenced to death by a Yemeni court in 2020. Authorities in Yemen have reportedly scheduled her execution for July 16.
On Monday, the Indian union government informed the Supreme Court that there was little it could do to halt the execution, as the case falls under Yemeni jurisdiction.
