New Delhi: The Central Government has dismissed reports claiming that the death sentence of Nimishapriya, a Malayali nurse imprisoned in Yemen, has been revoked. Official sources in the Ministry of External Affairs clarified that no such information has been received.
The claim had been made by Evangelist K.A. Paul, who recently asserted through a video shared on social media that Nimishapriya’s death sentence had been cancelled. However, government sources confirmed that no official progress has been made in the case.
Samuel Jerome, who is actively working for Nimishapriya’s release, also stated that K.A. Paul’s claim is false.
Meanwhile, the Save Nimishapriya International Action Council has submitted a petition to the Central Government, urging them to send a mediation team to Yemen to negotiate her release. This follows a recent Supreme Court directive recommending that a representative team be sent to Yemen.
Based on this, the action council proposed a delegation including K.R. Subhash Chandran, N.K. Kunhammed Kooraachund, and Sajeev Kumar. Additionally, representatives of A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, namely Hussain Saqafi and Hamid, were also suggested to be part of the team to be sent to Yemen.
