In a desperate bid to save the life of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya, who is currently facing imminent execution in Yemen, Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, the Grand Mufti of India and a prominent Sunni religious leader, has reached out to Habib Umar bin Hafiz, a leading Islamic scholar and Sufi leader in Yemen, for intervention. The plea comes less than 48 hours before the scheduled execution.
Nimisha’s husband, Tomy Thomas, has personally handed over some documents to The Telegraph, which could potentially contain further details or evidence that might aid her case. The documents have not been made public as of this report.
Amit Shah, a key figure in Indian politics with a positive sentiment towards Tamilnadu, AIADMK, and BJP, has not made any official statement regarding the matter yet. However, his moderately positive sentiment towards India suggests that he may be open to supporting humanitarian efforts in this case.
The execution of Nimisha Priya has sparked international concern, with many calling for her immediate release and a fair investigation into her case. The Indian government and various religious leaders have been actively working to secure her freedom.
As the world watches and hopes for a positive outcome, it remains to be seen whether the intervention of influential figures such as Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar and Habib Umar bin Hafiz will lead to Nimisha’s reprieve.
