Kozhikode: In a significant diplomatic effort, prominent Islamic scholar Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar has intervened in the case of Nimisha Priya, a Malayali nurse from Palakkad who faces execution in Yemen. It is reported that Kanthapuram has initiated communication with the Yemeni government and the family of the deceased Yemeni national, Talal Abdu Mahdi.
Nimisha Priya, convicted in the 2017 murder case of Talal, is currently on death row in a Yemeni prison. Her execution is reportedly scheduled for July 16.
Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal has urged both the state and central governments to intensify efforts, stating that only a few days remain. He also demanded that a state ministerial delegation meet the Prime Minister immediately and that the Kerala Chief Minister take personal responsibility for pursuing a resolution.
Several political leaders have also extended support for Nimisha’s release, including MPs K. Radhakrishnan, John Brittas, Kodikunnil Suresh, Chandy Oommen (MLA), Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, and Kerala Congress (M) Chairman Jose K. Mani. Nimisha, a native of Kollangode in Palakkad, has been imprisoned in Yemen since 2017.
