Effort to stop the execution of Nimisha Priya
The intensive diplomatic efforts of the Indian government, along with negotiations led by religious personalities, such as Kerala’s Kanthapuram AP Apoobacker Musliyar, played a key role in their stay.
The legal strategy includes the offer of “blood money” in accordance with the Yemeni law that allows grace if the victim’s family accepts financial compensation (“diyah”).
The rejection of the family has contributed to the challenges of the family to accept this compensation and a complex sectarian context in Houthi controlled Sanaa.
