Yemen to execute Indian nurse on death row – can she be saved?
Yemen is set to execute an Indian nurse, Mariam Thresia, who has been on death row since 2017. Thresia was convicted of murdering a Yemeni national, and her case has drawn international attention as human rights groups argue that she did not receive a fair trial.
The Yemeni government has stated that Thresia’s execution is in line with the country’s laws and judicial process. They maintain that she was given a fair trial and has been afforded all legal rights during the appeals process.
On the other hand, Thresia’s supporters, including Indian authorities and human rights organizations, have called for clemency, citing concerns over the fairness of her trial and the circumstances surrounding her conviction. They believe that there were procedural irregularities and lack of credible evidence against her.
Despite the calls for clemency, Yemeni authorities have reiterated their stance on carrying out the execution, stating that the judicial process has been followed diligently.
Thresia’s fate now hangs in the balance as the international community watches closely to see if any last-minute efforts can save her from the death penalty.
