Nimisha Priya’s case has drawn international attention since 2018. She was accused of murdering her business partner and dismembering the body. Convicted of murder in March 2018, she was sentenced to death by a Yemeni court in 2020.

The case took a dramatic turn when Yemeni President Rashad Al-Alimi signed her execution order in December 2024, followed by approval from Houthi rebel leader Mahdi Al-Mashat in January 2025, escalating the predicament.

In past months, diplomatic and religious interventions intensified to save Nimisha, with significant contributions from Indian religious leaders and social activists. This report is based on preliminary information, with more updates to follow.
