00:00 In a pivotal development, the Delhi High Court has granted permission for the mother of Kerala
00:08 nurse Nimisha Priya to travel to Yemen.
00:11 Nimisha Priya is currently on death row in a 2017 murder case.
00:16 The court ruling allows her to embark on this journey at her own risk, with no liability
00:22 to the Union government.
00:24 Justice Subramaniam Prasad presiding over a single-judge bench called for the relaxation
00:30 of the Union government's 2017 travel advisory notification, which initially prohibited the
00:36 travel of Indian citizens to Yemen.
00:39 Nimisha Priya's mother, Prema Kumari, filed an affidavit asserting her willingness to
00:44 undertake this journey independently.
00:47 The court further instructed Priya's mother to provide details of her travel to Yemen
00:52 and subsequent return to India through an affidavit.
00:56 In an earlier hearing, the High Court had urged her to submit a translated copy of the
01:01 Yemeni court's judgment presenting a potential legal option paying blood money to negotiate
01:07 with the victim's family.
01:09 The petitioner mother's counsel explained that the court in Yemen had indeed offered
01:14 the option of paying blood money, a practice within the Yemeni legal system.
01:20 However, the court required a translated copy as the original order was in Arabic.
01:27 Nimisha Priya received a death sentence in 2020 from a Yemeni lower court and on November
01:33 13 of this year, 2023, the Supreme Court of Yemen upheld the verdict.
01:39 The charges against her involved the alleged murder of a Yemeni national, Talal Abdo Mehdi,
01:45 in 2017.
01:47 The accusation suggests she injected him with sedatives to retrieve her passport in his
01:52 possession.
01:53 As legal proceedings unfold, the Delhi High Court's recent decision marks a significant
01:58 step in Nimisha Priya's case, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the complex web of
02:04 international legal intricacies.
