SC stays Indian nurse's execution in Yemen, no immediate threat reported.
The Supreme Court of India has announced that the execution of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, currently on death row in Yemen for murder, has been stayed, with no immediate threat reported. Attorney General R. Venkataramani informed the court that a new mediator has engaged in the situation, offering some hope for Priya’s legal team, which is urging the Indian government to utilize diplomatic channels for her release. The court, while acknowledging the stay, has scheduled the matter for review in January 2026 but allowed for earlier listings if conditions require. This development underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Indian nationals abroad and highlights the importance of diplomatic measures in protecting citizens’ rights.
