Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse on death row in Houthi‑controlled Yemen since 2018, was set to be executed on July 16 for the 2017 murder of her business partner. However, late jogs by India’s government and spiritual leaders postponed the sentence . Grand Mufti Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musaliyar and Sufi scholar Sheikh Habib Umar mediated with Yemeni tribal leaders, opening dialogue with the victim’s family over blood‑money compensation (“diya”) . India has informed the Supreme Court that the only path to clemency lies in this Sharia‑mandated financial settlement . The deferment offers a narrow window to finalize discussions and seek a pardon.
