Will Nimisha Priya Be Forgiven? Brother Of The Yemeni Man She Was Accused Of Killing Speaks Out | World News

Sanaa/New Delhi: In the capital of Yemen, a woman waits in a prison cell. His name is Nimisha Priya. A nurse from Kerala in India. He has carried the weight of the death penalty for years. But on Monday, there was a tremor of hope.

The execution, which was initially planned on June 16, was stopped at least for now. He is behind the railings in Sanaa, a city under the control of the Houthi administration. He was sentenced to allegedly killed business partner Talal Abdo Mahdi.

The victim’s family broke silence. His brother Abdel Fateh Mahdi speaks in detail for the first time about what they actually believe in between Nimisha and Talal.

In an interview with the BBC Arabic, he refused every accusation against his deceased brother. No abuse. No passport confiscation. No torture. He says these stories are “wrong .. Stories he believes to be prepared to describe Nimisha as a sacrifice.

During the hearing at the Supreme Court of India, Nimisha’s legal team drew a different picture. They claimed to have been exploited. They said Talal took all his money. He beat him. So that he kept his passport, so he couldn’t leave. That he took him out of dignity and control.

However, Abdel rejected them all as “manufacturing ..

Abdel, “They knew each other. They were business partners. They started a clinic together. Then they married. They lived like other couples for three or four years,” he said.

He did not deny that a tragedy occurred. However, he rejected the idea that the convicted person should be seen as a responsible person. “Real bending. The person who committed the law is depicted as a painful person,” he said.

As for forgive? Abdel did not hesitate. He wanted divine justice. “The law of God (blood for blood) must be approved. There is nothing less, there is nothing else,” he said.

There is movement behind the scenes in India. Nimisha’s case drew attention from strong figures. According to Indian officials, diplomatic lines remained open. Negotiations were held over and over again with the prosecutors and prison officials of Yemen. Execution is waiting, but the sword is still hanging.

In Kerala, a respectable Islamic scholar came in. Grand Mufti AP Aboobacker is trying to help. He reached the elderly in Yemen. He contacted tribal leaders and clergy. A series of meetings are held. Members of the Talal family are attending. So are people influential from society. The aim is to reach an understanding. Maybe even reconciliation.

However, the next road is uncertain. Nimisha stays in prison. Talal is gone. Two families. Two countries. Two truths. And among them, long shadow of justice.
