Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse, faces the death penalty in Yemen for allegedly murdering a Yemeni man. Her family, unaware of official updates, learned from news reports about a potential execution set for July 16.

Despite the Supreme Judicial Council upholding her capital punishment in November 2023, talks continue for a possible reprieve through blood money negotiations with the victim's family.

The Nimisha Priya Action Council remains focused on this slim chance for clemency. Meanwhile, her family grapples with financial strain and debts incurred from a defunct Yemeni clinic.
