Sampadak Express highlights a pressing international case that alarms human rights groups and government officials. Nimisha Priya, a 38-year-old nurse from Kerala’s Palakkad district, may face hanging in Yemen within 48 hours. Urgent appeals are underway to save her life.
Yemeni authorities convicted her in 2017 for killing her business partner. The court sentenced her to death in 2020. Her final appeal failed in 2023. As Sampadak Express confirms, the execution date is set for June 16.
Blood Money Offer as Last Hope
Priya’s family has offered $1 million in blood money to seek a pardon from the victim’s relatives. Yemeni law allows this resolution, but only if the family of the deceased accepts it.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step in quickly. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) continues to pursue legal and diplomatic options. Sampadak Express tracks these efforts closely and calls for swift action.
Growing Number of Indians on Death Row Abroad
Priya’s case reflects a larger issue. Many Indians face harsh punishment overseas. MEA data, accessed by Sampadak Express, shows 54 Indian citizens sentenced to death across Gulf countries.
| Country | Indians Facing Execution |
|---|---|
| United Arab Emirates | 29 |
| Saudi Arabia | 12 |
| Kuwait | 3 |
| Qatar | 1 |
These numbers reveal major challenges for migrant safety and legal support abroad.
