Former J&K Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday (July 10, 2025)called for joint efforts to have Nimisha Priya, facing death penalty in Yemen, released.
Priya, an Indian nurse, is facing execution in Yemen on July 16. “She was allegedly subjected to severe abuse, and in an attempt to defend herself, a man died. Nimisha now faces the death penalty. As per Yemeni law, clemency is possible only through blood money. I request S Jaishankar (External Affairs Minister) to intervene immediately,” Ms. Mufti said.
