As Nimisha Priya's execution nears, bad news from this country where three Indians are sentenced to death, country is..., Indian govt...
(Representational image: New Delhi: Indian nurse Nimisha Priya has been sentenced to death in a murder case in Yemen and she will be executed on July 16 as per the latest reports. Despite the efforts of Nimisha's family, the Indian government and many organizations, the possibility of Nimisha's execution being postponed seems very low. Amidst Nimisha's case, a court in Indonesia has also sentenced three Indians to death. Who are the three Indians? Three Indians have been sentenced to death in Indonesia after being found guilty of drug trafficking. The country's High Court has also upheld the conviction of all three. These three Indians sentenced to death in Indonesia are Raju Muthukumaran, Selvadurai Dinakaran and Govindasamy Vimalkandan. All three are currently in jail. What does India say? The Indian Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakraborty, has formally called for a re-investigation into the case. Sandeep Chakraborty said that we have demanded a resumption of the investigation. All witnesses, including the captain and crew of the ship, should also be thoroughly investigated. Sandip Chakraborty said, 'We have faith in the Indonesian judicial system. We believe that due process should be followed in the investigation. We have seen many discrepancies in the investigation. All evidence, including mobile phone records, has not been examined. Death penalty is a harsh decision and this punishment can be given only in the rarest of rare cases. In such a situation, this case should be investigated again.' What is the case? Indian citizens, Raju Muthukumaran, Selvadurai Dinakaran and Govindasamy Vimalkandan were arrested in July last year from a Singapore-flagged ship near Karimun Island in Indonesia's Riau Islands. It was claimed that all three were smuggling narcotic drugs. A case was filed against all three and the District Court of Tanjung Balai Karimun found them guilty and sentenced them to death. The high court has also upheld the death sentence of these three. All three may be executed in the coming days. On the other hand, India's diplomatic mission has accused Indonesian authorities of negligence from arrest to trial proceedings. The Indian government is putting pressure through its diplomatic channels for legal and humanitarian assistance for its three citizens.

Yemen tragedy: Five boys killed in blast while playing football; artillery shell fired by militias
Five children were killed on Friday night after an explosive device detonated in a residential area of Yemen's Taiz province, rights groups and eyewitnesses confirmed on Saturday. The blast occurred in the Al-Hashmah subdistrict as the children were playing football. The Yemen Centre for Human Rights, Eye of Humanity, and Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV alleged the explosion was caused by an artillery shell fired by militias backed by the Islah party, which supports Yemen's internationally recognised government in the south. The United Nations children's agency UNICEF said it was aware of reports about the incident but was unable to verify the details. Eyewitnesses Ahmed al-Sharee and Khaled al-Areki told the Associated Press that the children were in the middle of a football game when the explosion took place. At least three others were also injured and taken to hospital with minor to moderate wounds. Another witness, Mahmoud al-Mansi, said the explosive appeared to have been launched from a location controlled by Islah-aligned forces. The Yemen Centre for Human Rights condemned the incident, releasing a report containing graphic images of the victims. Citing medical staff at Al-Rafai Hospital, the group said the children died from shrapnel injuries. Two were aged 12 and two were 14. The age of the fifth child is still unknown. Taiz, the provincial capital, remains a major flashpoint in Yemen's civil war. It has long seen fighting between Iran-backed Houthi forces and militias supported by the Islah party. The city had been under Houthi blockade since 2016, cutting off movement and basic supplies, though key routes have recently been reopened. Yemen's civil war erupted in 2014 when the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa, prompting the internationally recognised government to flee. A Saudi-led coalition entered the conflict the following year in an attempt to restore the government. Meanwhile, the south remains deeply divided. The Southern Transitional Council, backed by the UAE and advocating for southern independence, controls large parts of the region and maintains its own militia forces.

Hamas Bleeds Israeli Soldiers: IDF Admits More Casualties In Two Separate Attacks In One Day
Kerala Nurse On Death Row in Yemen: Can India Save Nimisha Priya From Execution on July 16? 34-year-old Nimisha Priya, a nurse from Kerala, is facing execution in Yemen on July 16. Arrested in 2017 for the murder of her Yemeni partner, Nimisha claims she was a victim of abuse and never intended to kill. Her lawyers say it was a tragic accident during an attempt to escape. But Yemen's courts sentenced her to death by execution, and the clock is ticking. Now, there's one way out: 'Blood Money', a provision under Sharia law where the victim's family can forgive the accused in exchange for compensation. Nimisha's family is ready to pay, but negotiations are nearly impossible in a war-torn country under Houthi control. With politicians stepping in, a Supreme Court hearing on July 14, and public support growing, can India pull off a diplomatic miracle?#savenimishapriya #keralanurse #indiayemen #bloodmoney #executioncountdown #indianabroad #diplomacymatters #supremecourtindia #nimishapriyacase #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews 4.5K views | 1 day ago
