Now Nimisha’s family is pleading with the Government of India to save her in some way. This case is not only full of legal complications, but the complexity of diplomatic relations has also made the efforts of the Government of India difficult.
Nimisha’s story is full of pain
Mahdi not only confiscated his passport, but also started asserting authority over his earnings. Nimisha also alleges that he used to use drugs and keep her under control. To get out of this pain, he tried to make Talal unconscious with the help of a local jail officer, but it became an overdose and Mahdi died.
Said in the way of saving?
The biggest challenge of the Government of India in this matter is that there is no formal diplomatic relations between India and Huti rebels. India’s official dialogue is with Yemen’s internationally recognized President’s Legislative Council, while many parts like Sana are under control.
The way to blood money?
The law of Yemen contains the option of ‘blood and blood money’ or blood money. This means that the accused can be saved from hanging by giving financial compensation to the family of the deceased. Nimisha’s mother Premkumari reached Yemen through local contacts last year and tried to try this option.
Human rights activist Samuel Jerome Baskeron is in touch with this family and officials in Yemen. He said that the jail administration has received a letter to start the process of hanging, due to which the situation has become more serious.
Is there any hope left?
The story of Nimisha Priya is not only of a crime, but also a story of a woman’s suffering, struggle and self -defense attempts. The question arises whether he was killed, or was he the last attempt by a persecuted woman to get his freedom?
The family of the people of India, human rights activist and Nimisha are now expecting the last attempt from international human rights institutions and the Government of India. There is still expectation of agreement through blood money, but time is coming out fast.
Nimisha Priya may not have much way left, but humanity and diplomacy are still hopeful.
