NEW DELHI:

Priya, a 36-year-old, who is from Palakkad in Kerala, was arrested in July 2017 in connection with the murder of a Yemeni citizen.

Priya was sentenced to death by a Yemeni court in the year 2020.

After efforts to secure her release through the Islamic tradition of "diyat", or paying "blood money" to the victim's family, failed, Yemen's President Rashad al-Alimi approved her death sentence on Monday.

Responding to the development, external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the government has been extending all help in Priya's case while her family explores "relevant options".
