“Free at Last!” — Evangelist K.A. Paul Claims Victory in Nimisha Priya’s Release, Thanks PM Modi

A major breakthrough has been claimed in the high-profile case of Nimisha Priya, the Indian nurse sentenced to death in Yemen. Renowned international evangelist Dr. K.A. Paul has announced that Nimisha Priya will be released soon, crediting his sustained diplomatic efforts over the past year. He also extended his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian government for their support throughout the process.

In a video statement released on Monday, Dr. Paul declared:

“I am proud to say that our consistent efforts have finally paid off. Nimisha Priya will soon be free. I personally met with the Yemeni government and convinced them. This was a humanitarian battle, and I refused to give up.”

He further stated that he and his Human Rights and Relief Foundation had been working tirelessly in Yemen to reach a resolution. Through direct diplomatic talks, humanitarian appeals, and coordination with the Indian embassy, they were able to influence the Yemeni authorities.

Nimisha Priya, a nurse from Kerala, was working in Yemen when she was accused of murdering a local Yemeni national. The court found her guilty and sentenced her to death. Since then, her family, along with Indian human rights activists and common citizens, had been campaigning relentlessly for her return and a reduction of her sentence.

Following Dr. Paul’s announcement, Nimisha's family expressed hope and relief. Although there has been no official confirmation yet from either the Yemeni authorities or the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, many believe that if someone of Dr. Paul’s stature has made such a statement, there is reason to be hopeful.

Dr. Paul's claim has sparked widespread discussion in diplomatic and political circles. Some are questioning the absence of an official statement, but others argue that such humanitarian negotiations are often confidential until finalized. Analysts suggest that this may mark a significant diplomatic win for India on the global stage.

If Nimisha Priya’s release is officially confirmed, it would not just mean the return of an Indian woman from a death sentence abroad, but also stand as a testament to successful international diplomacy and humanitarian advocacy. Until then, the nation waits for official validation — but the hope ignited by Dr. K.A. Paul's announcement has already captured national attention.
