Kerala Nurse On Death Row In Yemen. Her Last Hope: Mother Negotiating Release

Nimisha Priya was found guilty of killing a Yemeni national and has been in prison since 2018.

New Delhi:

A Kerala nurse on death row in Yemen for murder will now be represented by her mother, who was granted permission by the Delhi High Court to travel to the West Asian country and negotiate her daughter's release. The court, in a ruling on Tuesday, permitted the mother to go to Yemen and try and negotiate a "blood money" deal to save her daughter Nimisha Priya.

"Blood money" is the compensation decided by the victim's family to secure her release, a direct negotiation in accordance with the Shariah law prevalent in Yemen. But for this negotiation, it is important for her mother to travel to Yemen.

But Centre imposed a travel ban in 2017 due to which Indian citizens cannot visit Yemen without the permission of the government. Delhi High Court directed the Centre to relax its notification, and allow Prema Kumari, Nimisha's mother, to travel to Yemen.

The high court took note of the Centre's submission that India does not have diplomatic ties with Yemen and it has closed down its embassy there, and that no international treaty is applicable in that country in the present scenario.

The court has asked the mother to submit an affidavit stating that she will travel at her own risk and responsibility without any liability to the Indian government.

Nimisha Priya was found guilty of killing a Yemeni national and has been in prison since 2018. She injected Talal Abdo Mahdi with sedatives in an attempt to retrieve her passport from his possession.

She was sentenced to death by a trial court in Yemen in 2018 and her family has been fighting for her release since then. With Yemini Supreme Court rejecting her appeal, the only hope for her is a "blood money" deal between the families.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
