Indian Nurse Nimisha Priya’s Death Sentence Cancelled in Yemen

In a significant development, the death sentence of Nimisha Priya, the Indian nurse convicted of murder in Yemen, has been overturned. A meeting in Sanaa resulted in the complete cancellation of the sentence. The Indian government had been actively involved in the case, with the MEA offering legal aid and pursuing options for clemency. Priya’s case involves the killing of a Yemeni national and the circumstances surrounding her interactions with a Yemeni citizen who took advantage of her.
