Latest News: Race Against Time to Save Kerala Nurse Nimisha Priya from Yemen Execution
With just days remaining until July 16, 2025, the fate of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya hangs in the balance as India desperately seeks to prevent her execution in Yemen. In a crucial Supreme Court hearing on Monday, the Centre revealed that negotiating a blood money settlement is now the "only viable option" to save her life.
Attorney General R Venkataramani, appearing before Justice Sandeep Mehta's bench, described the case as "a very complex issue," emphasizing the unprecedented diplomatic challenges India faces due to the absence of formal diplomatic relations with Yemen. The ticking clock has intensified pressure on Indian authorities to find a solution through alternative diplomatic channels.
The case has captured national attention, highlighting the plight of Indian workers abroad and the limitations of diplomatic intervention in countries where India lacks official representation. Nimisha Priya's situation has become a symbol of the vulnerabilities faced by Indian nationals working in conflict-affected regions.
As the Kerala government, Centre, and various human rights organizations work around the clock, the blood money negotiation represents the last hope for the young nurse's survival. The Supreme Court's involvement underscores the gravity of the situation and the constitutional obligations to protect Indian citizens abroad.
The international community watches as India navigates this complex diplomatic maze, with time running out for what could be a precedent-setting case for future Indian nationals facing similar situations abroad.
