Nimisha Priya death: Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya's life is in danger in Yemen. Nimisha, convicted in a murder case, may be sentenced to death on 16 July 2025. The method of death penalty in Yemen is so horrific that anyone who knows or hears about it will get goosebumps. The Indian government and Nimisha's family are making every effort to save her life, but the matter is complicated due to the occupation of Houthi rebels in Yemen. Let us know about Nimisha's case and what is the process of death penalty in Yemen. First of all, let us know. The horrifying method of death penalty in Yemen.

The method of death penalty in Yemen is very scary. According to media reports, earlier hanging or beheading was done there, but now the executioner punishes by shooting with a rifle. The culprit is made to lie upside down on a blanket or carpet. A doctor first marks the exact place of the heart. Then the executioner fires several bullets from an automatic rifle on the back, which break the spinal cord and rip the heart into pieces.

In some cases, flogging

is also done before the execution under Sharia law. In Yemen, the death penalty is given for crimes like murder, rape, terrorism, adultery, homosexuality, apostasy, drug trafficking, espionage and treason.

India's efforts and challenges

The Indian government is trying its best to save Nimisha. 'Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council' has offered 1 million US dollars to Talal's family as 'diyat' (blood money). Talal's family has also been offered free treatment in Kerala and travel expenses. But Talal's family has not agreed yet. Nimisha's mother Prema Kumari has been trying to save her daughter in Yemen for the last one year.

Why is Priya not getting relief?

The case is getting difficult due to the control of Houthi rebels in Yemen and the lack of formal contact with India. In Yemen's Sharia law, there is a way for forgiveness through 'Diyat'. If Talal's family accepts the compensation, then Nimisha's life can be saved. The Indian government and human rights activist Samuel Jerome are trying till the last moment. It is hoped that some miracle happens before July 16 and Nimisha's life is saved.

What is the case of Nimisha Priya?

Nimisha Priya is a resident of Palakkad district of Kerala. In 2008, she went to Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, as a nurse. She got married in 2011 and was living there with her husband and daughter. In 2014, her family returned to India, but Nimisha stayed in Yemen. She started a clinic with Yemeni citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi. But Talal allegedly snatched Nimisha's passport and threatened her after snatching her money.

Murder allegation

In 2017, Nimisha gave an injection of anesthesia to Talal to get his passport back, but by mistake the dose was overdosed and Talal died. After this, Nimisha cut the body into pieces and threw it in a water tank. In 2018, she was convicted of murder, and in 2020 a Yemeni court sentenced her to death. In 2023, her appeal was also rejected. Now she is in Sana'a jail.
