The execution was initially scheduled for July 16, but was postponed following diplomatic interventions and negotiations led by the Government of India.
Jaiswal clarified that reports claiming her death sentence has been completely overturned are incorrect. "We are also in touch with some friendly governments on the issue... Reports claiming that there have been certain developments are incorrect. Please wait for an update from us. We urge all sides to stay away from misinformation," he said.
Nimisha Priya, a 37-year-old nurse from Kerala, was convicted of murdering her business partner, Talal Abdo Mahdi, in 2017. She was sentenced to death in 2020, with the verdict upheld by Yemen's Supreme Judicial Council in November 2023. As per ANI, her family and various organisations have been seeking clemency through diplomatic and legal channels.
On July 17, the MEA Spokesperson had informed that the Indian government appointed a lawyer to assist Nimisha Priya's family in navigating the legal process under Yemen's Sharia law.
The government has also arranged regular consular visits and continues to engage with local authorities and other nations to find a favourable solution.
