Indian Embassy in Djibouti to help Indian nurse facing death sentence in Yemen Featured

  26 August 2020

Nimisha Priya, a 30-year-old Indian nurse living in Yemen, has been sentenced to death for murdering Talal Abdo Mahdi, a Yemeni man who she says has harassed and tortured her for two years.

She has appealed for help, saying that the lack of proper legal aid has brought her to this situation. Taking cognisance of her appeal, the Indian Embassy in Djibouti in a tweet on Tuesday night said that they are in touch with Nimisha and her lawyer and that they will provide all legal help to lodge an appeal in the Appeal Court against the death sentence.

“Our officers have been in touch with Nimishapriya and her lawyer. Eventhough our Embassy in Yemen is not functional due to security situation, we will extend all possible help to her to lodge an appeal in the Appeal Court against the death sentence. Let's hope for the best,” the embassy has said in a tweet. The Indian embassy in Yemen has been closed and has been functioning from Djibouti since April 2015 due to the political and security situation in Yemen.

Speaking to TNM on Tuesday, Nimisha narrated how Talal harassed her over the past few years, even posing as her husband, despite knowing she was already married. In 2015, Nimisha, along with her husband Tomy, decided to start a clinic in Yemen. They were told that they needed the assent of a Yemeni citizen to do so and Nimisha suggested the name of Talal, whose clothes shop she had visited once earlier. However, the owner of the clinic she worked at agreed to invest in the clinic for 33% of the share. She did not seek Talal's help.
