Meanwhile, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday sought External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s intervention to save Nimisha Priya.

The former chief minister of J-K also appealed to people to donate generously for raising blood money needed for getting clemency for Nimisha Priya.

In a post on X, Mehbooba said, “Nimisha Priya an Indian nurse is facing execution in Yemen on 16th July. She was allegedly subjected to severe abuse and in an attempt to defend her herself a man died”.

She said Priya now faces the death penalty, and as per the Yemeni law, clemency is possible only through blood money.

“Request @DrSJaishankar to intervene immediately. Unfortunately till now the required funds and diplomatic pressure are both inadequate,” Mehbooba said.

The former chief minister of the erstwhile state of J-K urgently appealed to everyone, especially women, to donate generously so that the family of the nurse can pay it for clemency.
