Prema Kumari, 57, knows how risky a journey to the war-torn Yemen is. But her desire to somehow rescue her 35-year-old daughter Nimisha Priya, who is on death row at the Central prison in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, is such that she is willing to put her own life on the line. Nimisha remains imprisoned for the alleged murder of a Yemeni national in July 2017.
“I will beg the victim’s family to forgive my daughter and to take my life instead. If everything goes as per plan, I may be able to travel to Yemen next week,” her voice choked with grief over phone from Kizhakkambalam, where she has been working as a domestic help for over six years.
