Sanna: The Sanna appeal court upheld the death sentence of Malayalee nurse Nimisha Priya in a death sentence in a Yemen citizen’s death case.
In 2017, Talal Abdu Mahdi, a Yemeni national, was killed by NImisha and her colleague. Nimisha claims that Talal, who came to Yemen with the promise of help to start his clinic while working as a nurse, was brutally tortured by having his passport confiscated.
In case the death sentence is upheld by the Court of Appeal, the case may be referred to the Supreme Judicial Council, chaired by the President of Yemen.
