Tragedy Strikes Kumbh Mela as Crowd Crush Claims Lives of 30 Devotees

Iran has extended support to Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse facing death row in Yemen for an alleged murder, citing humanitarian grounds. Nimisha was convicted of killing Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi and has been imprisoned since 2017. According to reports, her arrest occurred outside Houthi-controlled areas, positioning Iran and potentially other nations to offer assistance.
Indian officials confirmed that they are exploring all possible avenues to aid Nimisha, whose case has garnered international attention. Iran's involvement comes after months of efforts to negotiate a pardon or blood money agreement with the victim's family, led by Nimisha's mother, who has been residing in Yemen.
In light of the recent developments, a senior Iranian official stated, "On humanitarian grounds, we are willing to do whatever we can." However, without a pardon from the victim's family, Nimisha's execution may occur within the month.
Efforts to raise funds for legal aid have been challenged, with reports indicating negotiations reached a standstill late last year. Local political leaders and the Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council have been actively working to secure her release.
Nimisha's case continues to unfold as families and advocates across borders seek justice and mercy.
