Nimisha Priya Case: The death sentence of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, who is imprisoned in Yemen, has been canceled. This news of relief has given a sigh of relief not only to her family but to the whole country. The office of Indian Grand Mufti Kanthapuram A.P. Abubakar Musliyar has confirmed that her death sentence has been completely canceled in a high-level meeting held in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen.
Nimisha went to Yemen 8 years ago
In the year 2017, Nimisha went to Yemen for her livelihood, where she started a medical clinic with a local citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi. But over time, the situation worsened. Mahdi started misusing the pictures of her personal life and not only gave mental torture through blackmail but also took over her earnings.
Death sentence was given last year
Amidst all this, when Nimisha tried to get her passport back, in that atmosphere of tension and fear, she made such a mistake that Mahdi lost his life. After this, he was arrested and after a long legal struggle, he was sentenced to death in 2024.
The Indian government made continuous efforts during this difficult time. Many religious organizations, social workers and the Indian Grand Mufti Kanthapuram A.P. Abubakar Musliyar himself also made continuous appeals to the Yemen government. Finally, after a high-level meeting in Sana’a, the news of relief came that Nimisha’s sentence has been completely cancelled. The Indian Grand Mufti has played a big role in getting Nimisha’s sentence cancelled.
