The scheduled execution of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya in Yemen has been postponed, according to top sources.


Priya, convicted in 2020 for the murder of her former business associate Talal Abdo Mahdi, had been awaiting execution in Sana’a following the rejection of her final appeal in 2023.

The delay comes after urgent intervention by leading spiritual figures from both India and Yemen. Yemeni Sufi scholar Sheikh Habib Umar bin Hafiz stepped in following an appeal by prominent Indian Sunni cleric Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar. Their efforts have led to a breakthrough in negotiations with Mahdi’s family, who had previously refused dialogue.

A key meeting is underway in Dhamar between Sheikh Habib’s representatives and Mahdi’s relatives, including a powerful family member who serves as Chief Justice of the Hodeidah State Court and a member of Yemen’s Shura Council. His presence is seen as pivotal in softening the family’s stance, particularly because of his ties to the Sufi order.

Tuesday’s discussions are expected to address the possibility of offering diya, or blood money, under Shariah law—a move that could halt the execution legally. “This breakthrough in communication is unprecedented and offers new hope,” said a source close to the mediation efforts.

Meanwhile, the Indian government told the Supreme Court that it is doing everything possible within the constraints of diplomatic complexities. Attorney General R. Venkataramani noted that Yemen’s geopolitical circumstances make direct governmental intervention challenging.

As critical talks unfold, supporters and human rights advocates remain cautiously optimistic, hoping for a resolution that spares Priya’s life and highlights the power of cross-cultural spiritual diplomacy.
