Nimisha Priya, a nurse from Kerala, is on death row in Yemen for the murder of a Yemeni man, Talal Abdo Mehdi, in 2017. Yemen's president approved her death sentence in December 2024. However, her release is possible if the victim's family pardons her and accepts blood money. Talks have stalled as her lawyer demands $40,000 in fees. India has assured full support to her family in their efforts to secure a pardon. Nimisha's mother, Prema Kumari, has been in Yemen since April 2024, trying to help her daughter. Her execution could occur within a month without a resolution.
