Event Summary

Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse, is scheduled to be executed in Yemen on July 16 for the 2017 murder of Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mehdi. She was convicted in 2020, and her death sentence was upheld by Yemen's Supreme Judicial Council in November 2023 and approved by President Rashad al-Alimi. Nimisha Priya alleged that Talal Abdo Mehdi had abused her, confiscated her passport, and manipulated business documents related to a clinic they co-owned. She injected him with sedatives to retrieve her passport, which led to his death from an overdose. Efforts by the Indian government, including the India — Ministry of External Affairs, and social workers like Samuel Jerome Baskaran, are underway to negotiate 'blood money' with Talal Abdo Mehdi's family for a potential pardon, but the execution order has been issued.
