Execution of Indian Nurse Nimisha Priya Stayed in Yemen

The Supreme Court was informed that the execution of Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse on death row in Yemen for the 2017 murder of a Yemeni national, has been stayed. Attorney General R Venkataramani told the court that a new mediator has entered negotiations and that "nothing adverse is happening" currently. Priya, from Kerala, was convicted of killing Talal Abdo Mahdi. The 'Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council' had petitioned the court seeking the Indian government's diplomatic intervention to save her.
