“It has been 12 years since I last saw my daughter and I am hopeful of coming back with her,” said 57-year-old Prema Kumari as her voice choked with grief on Friday.
Mother of 34-year-old Nimisha Priya, who is on death row at the Central prison in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, Ms. Prema Kumari will board the Yemenia Airways flight to Aden international airport from Mumbai at 5 p.m. on April 20. Nimisha, a nurse, has been imprisoned for the alleged murder of a Yemeni national in July 2017.
“Her 11-year-old daughter, who is staying with her husband Tomy, is also eagerly awaiting her mother’s return. I am not travelling to Yemen to save my daughter alone. I am also seeking pardon from the family members of the victim,” she said.
