Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya’s hanging postponed, big news comes from Yemen

Nimisha Priya has been sentenced to death in the murder case. She has been imprisoned in Yemen since 2017. Nimisha was found guilty of murdering Yemeni citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi. She was accused of giving Mahdi anesthesia injections to get her passport deposited with him, but Mahdi died due to these injections.

The death sentence of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya has been postponed for now. This information has come to light from sources. She was to be hanged on 16 July in Yemen.

The Indian government was trying its best to save Nimisha Priya from hanging. It was being said that it is difficult to save her given the seriousness of the case. But now the news is that her hanging has been postponed.

The Yemeni court has sentenced Nimisha Priya to death in a murder case. She has been in a Yemeni jail since 2017. Nimisha was found guilty of murdering Yemeni citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi. She was accused of giving Mahdi anesthesia injections to get her passport deposited with him, but Mahdi died due to an overdose of these injections.

Nurse Nimisha, a resident of Palakkad in Kerala, had been working in Yemen with her husband and daughter for the past decade. In 2016, due to the civil war in Yemen, travel outside the country was restricted. But before that, in 2014, her husband and daughter had returned to India.

But Nimisha could not return. After this, Nimisha was accused of murdering a Yemeni citizen in July 2017. Therefore, on March 7, 2018, the court in Yemen upheld Nimisha’s death sentence.

Under which law was Nimisha sentenced?

Sharia law is applicable in Yemen. Under this law, death sentence is given in case of murder. Blood money is a practice in which a person convicted of murder can be forgiven, provided he pays a large amount as compensation to the family of the deceased. This amount is decided under an agreement with the relatives of the deceased.

Ever since Nimisha was sentenced to death in Yemen, there was talk of getting her released by paying blood money. Experts of Islam believe that this method not only gives an opportunity for forgiveness, but the victim’s family also gets justice to some extent through monetary support.
