00:00There can be lot of jokers in any circus. It's an unwritten rule here in Yemen. In any tribal

00:10negotiations people who go public are fake people. You know when you say about that many people think

00:15that we go and sit with the family and tell them how much money I give. No, no, no. Imagine somebody

00:22is killed in my family and the killer comes to me like two days later or sometime later and says

00:27okay forgive me I'll give you money. Will you accept that?

00:30Hello you are watching One India. Today we are talking about the Nimisha Priya case.

00:35It's a powerful story that has grabbed national attention as well as international attention.

00:41Talking about the recent updates on July 16th Nimisha's execution was postponed and today

00:48another claim has been made by evangelist K.A. Paul. He has claimed that Yemen has agreed to release

00:54Nimisha. How true is this claim? What lies next for Nimisha? And how do Yemen's laws, the diplomatic

01:01efforts and her family's fight for mercy come together? Joining us is Nimisha's mother and Mr.

01:09Samuel Jerome Bhaskaran who has been leading the negotiations in Yemen to secure Nimisha's release

01:15and he has also been involved in discussions with Talal Mehdi's family. Thank you so much,

01:20sir and ma'am for joining us. Welcome. Sir, Nimisha's execution was postponed on July 16th

01:28and it has brought a lot of hope to her family and supporters and now today K.A. Paul has claimed that

01:34Yemen has agreed to release Nimisha. Firstly sir, how true is this claim and also can you brief us about

01:41the legal status of Nimisha's case right now? Let's first talk about the legal state of Nimisha.

01:48See, the government of Yemen has given an indefinite state. What does that mean is there is no specific

01:56date for execution. So this indefinite means, it doesn't mean that it is an open thing. If

02:05Abdul Fattah's family go and press for a date, they will give a date. The right is with the family of

02:10brother Abdul Fattah and entirely the pardon and the right for execution, everything lies with

02:18brother Abdul Fattah. You need to understand this. So having said that, so I mean we don't know what

02:24they are doing. I mean like if they go to the public prosecutor's office and if they press for a date,

02:30then the date will be given. So that is the legal status. Now secondly, you are talking about K.A. Paul.

02:38There can be a lot of jokers in any circus. So I am not here to talk about jokers. I am here to

02:45talk about the real thing. So really nothing has happened. There has been no discussion with the

02:53family because all I can say nothing has happened with the family and Kuma just keeping a Yemeni

03:01gentleman beside him and just giving an interview doesn't authenticate and I don't know what is

03:05intentions. You should ask K.A. Paul about those things and you should ask the specifics. Who has spoken,

03:10where they have spoken, where they have reached to, you should ask proof for that. That is what you

03:14should do. I mean that is what is it and then it will be just sitting with an Yemeni gentleman and

03:19just giving a press conference, cannot give the life, cannot save the life of Namesha. Now,

03:26there is something very very important I want to say, I state here. In a tribal setup, people, I mean

03:33before that I want to say this, whoever goes to media does not understand Yemeni traditions

03:39and they don't have any respect for the blood of brother Talal which has been shed and absolutely

03:45they don't have any regards for the honour of Abdul Fattah, brother Abdul Fattah's family. Why I am

03:51saying this? Now you need to understand, we understand from brother Abdul Fattah that he is,

03:56he is taking up a stand and asking for execution and when people come and tell on the other hand, no,

04:01we have achieved a breakthrough and this is insulting brother Abdul Fattah. He is the one who is the sole

04:09authority for forgiveness but if we keep on insulting him, the outcome will be totally very bad. So,

04:18people, I mean people who are trying to make cheap claims or cheap mileage out of this issue,

04:27have to understand, they are playing with the life of Namesha and absolutely I am telling you,

04:33absolutely I am telling you, people who are really involved will never go to media. This is how it

04:37is. It's an unwritten rule here in Yemen. In any tribal negotiations, people who go public are fake

04:42people. Okay sir, sir, you have mentioned the involvement of Sheikh Abdul Malik al-Nehaya and the

04:47Indian and Yemeni government in the negotiations and you have also refuted the claims of religious mediators.

04:53Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me correct you, let me correct you. Please, it is not negotiation.

04:57They were involved in getting a stay for the execution. Okay, sir. Sir, so can you clarify

05:05the diplomatic and non-diplomatic channels that have contributed to the postponement of Namesha's

05:11execution? It is a lot of things coming together at the right time. So,

05:19brother Chandi Oman went and met our Honorable Governor of Kerala and Honorable Governor of Kerala

05:31has taken it up as a personal thing and he has worked with the centre. So, this is one thing,

05:38this is one thing happening on one side. On the other side, Abdul Malik al-Nehaya had spoken to

05:44people in the President's office and that was happening. So, on Saturday, when I, Mother,

05:50Sheikh Abdul Malik al-Nehaya and our Indian embassy, local staff, local staff of the Indian embassy,

05:57because as you know, in Yemen, there is no Indian embassy, the local staffs are still available.

06:01So, we all went to the public prosecutor's office and when we gave the request for extension,

06:13they immediately said, we have already received a call from the President's office. This is what they

06:17stated. This is on Saturday evening, but they also requested something. They said, can you please get

06:23a request from the Government of India? So, the Government of India gave the request on Sunday

06:28morning, Sunday afternoon, it was confirmed that the execution will be postponed. But they came

06:32with the order on 15th because they didn't want Brother Abdul Fattah's family to react or to, I mean,

06:41you know, you can understand. So, and because a lot of people were coming from villages to witness the

06:46execution, it would have been a very big mess. So, the Government of, so the Government of, I mean,

06:50so, I mean, they had also requested us, do not go public. They clearly said, do not, I mean,

06:56they are helping us and we don't want to go public and claim something and then that creates problem

07:02for them. So, it has to be very diplomatically handled. So, that is what we have done. Well,

07:07I am not a media person. People have to understand, I am not a media person. I am not a politician

07:11and I am not, I am not here for nonsense. I am not here to make noise. So, for me, the life of

07:17Namita is important and I will, I will, I will, I will clearly concentrate on this. And you asked about

07:22the non-diplomatic channels that is Sheikh Abdul-Malik Nahya and many people have claimed

07:27that they have spoken to and I am not, I am personally not aware. They could have spoken

07:31or maybe they did not speak. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I don't know how far it was

07:36instrumental in getting her execution straight. I don't know. I was part of all the meetings that

07:41I have. Officially, I was part of all the meetings. I knew what happened here. So, that is what I can say.

07:45I cannot comment or deny or accept things which I am not aware of. Okay, sir. Sir, if I may ask about

07:53the blood money process under Yemen's Sharia law, it has been considered central to Nimisha's case. Since

07:59you have been involved in the talks and everything, how challenging is it negotiating with Talal Mehdi's

08:06family? Now, let me tell you something very important. First of all, I want to take out of people's mind

08:13the blood money. Okay. There is something in Arabic called Dia. So, blood money in English is bad

08:22thing. You know, what people think, you know, when you say about blood money, people think

08:26that we go and sit with the family and tell them how much money I give. No, no, no. Imagine,

08:33I mean, I have been selling this in all the media. Imagine somebody is killed in my family and the

08:38killer comes to me like two days later or sometime later and says, okay, forgive me,

08:43I will give you money. Will you accept that? No, sir. It cannot be accepted, right? You have to

08:49understand the honor. It means that they don't honor my family and also they don't have respect

08:58for the blood that was shed. Now, this is what exactly happening, where people are claiming that

09:04we spoke and all those things. They are damaging the honor of the family. People have to understand this.

09:10So, it doesn't happen like that. All what happens between me and Brother Abdul Fattah or any of the

09:17family members, I am only authorized or I am only there to ask forgiveness. I clearly say, yes, our

09:26person has committed a crime. We are sorry and we ask grace from you. We plead pardon. This is what the

09:33tone of discussions are. But on the side and if the family gives a green light for forgiveness, then the

09:42discussions of money and all those things would come. In the previous negotiation, though the brother

09:53did not accept for blood money, it was the Sheikh because we have an intervening Sheikh because it was

09:59another Sheikh who was intervening and he asked us to give us an offer. So, that is why we gave an offer.

10:05And also, we cannot tell them that I will give you this money. You need to understand. So, blood money,

10:11I mean, whatever money does not buy forgiveness. Forgiveness is given and actually, you know, in

10:18several cases, there has been forgiveness given without money. You need to understand. And there have been cases,

10:24even up to five million dollars has been offered and there was no forgiveness given. So, five million dollars,

10:29he was five million dollars. So, people have to understand both the things. This is not about money. It is about

10:35forgiveness from brother Abdul Fattah and that is what I am here to seek. Okay, sir. Sir, you have clearly

10:43mentioned that forgiveness from brother Abdul Fattah is all that is important. Are there any other legal avenues that could be pursued?

10:51If that does not work out? No. All the right lies with the family. All the right lies with the family.

11:01Exclusively the family. You need to understand. Okay, sir. And you have to understand. Nimisha is a convicted,

11:07confessed killer. You need to understand. That is what the thing is that. So, that makes us more difficult.

11:15That is the reality of the situation. People have to understand that. If we are not in the shoes of

11:23brother Abdul Fattah, we can never seek forgiveness from them. It is not what the Indian media thinks.

11:29It is not how people think in India and I don't care about it. This is how it is done in human. If you

11:35don't respect brother Abdul Fattah, if you don't respect, you don't give, if you don't honor the family

11:41of brother Abdul Fattah and if you don't respect the blood that was shed and we cannot say, we cannot

11:48ask for, I mean, we don't, we cannot even qualify to ask pardon. Okay, sir, sir. Lastly, if I could

11:55pop a question to ma'am and you could help me with the answer. I would like to know her viewpoint and what

12:03she feels right now regarding all this that is happening?

12:24I don't know how many people have.

12:32I just, I think I've been with them for the 16th century.

12:40And I've been able to get a lot of the issues.

12:50Tension, Tension, Tension.

12:53What do you think about the house?

12:55I don't think it's a lot of tension.

13:00What do you think?

13:01So this was Mr. Samuel Jerome Bhaskaran and Nimisha's mother who joined us for a conversation.

13:07This was all you needed to know about Nimisha Priya case.
