00:00So, as you all know, the president has signed the execution order.

00:08Once the president has signed the execution order, the order comes to the public prosecutor

00:13office.

00:14The paper has already reached the public prosecutor office.

00:17The public prosecutor office will call the family and ask their consent for execution.

00:25And once the family gives the consent, then there will be a date of execution and the

00:30execution will be done.

00:33So this is the process.

00:34Now, if we are able to talk to the family, and if we can convince the family not to give

00:43a consent, once the public prosecutor's office calls the victim's family and they ask their

00:51consent for the execution, and if they give the consent, then a date is fixed and the

00:58execution is carried out.

00:59This is the process.

01:00Now, as I said earlier, there is a window of opportunity if we can convince the family

01:06not to give their consent, or if we can ask for their forgiveness, then there is a window

01:11of opportunity through which we can save Nimisha.

01:14So now we are trying to look through that window and save Nimisha.

01:17That is what we are trying to do right now.

01:20The pre-negotiation process was going on very good.

01:22We met the key members of the family.

01:25We have a mediating Sheikh on our behalf, and our lawyer is involved.

01:30We are a negotiating team.

01:31I, myself, and two other Indian embassy staff, the local staff who are in the Indian embassy

01:41office here in Sana'a, they are part of the negotiating team.

01:45So everything was going good.

01:47Unfortunately, since August, the negotiation did not continue because the second installment

01:54of pre-negotiation money, payment was not done by the committee.

02:00That is why this gap came back.

02:02So what happens, you need to understand.

02:04We have built a trust with the family, but then suddenly we did not continue.

02:12We stopped it, and because we stopped it, now the trust is lost.

02:16Now we have to regain that trust, and we need to achieve that window of opportunity

02:21which we still have.

02:22Now that is what, it is a very uphill task, but then we are going to try and do it.

02:30Negotiation does not mean we are going to tell them, oh, we will give you this money

02:34or no.

02:35The negotiation is not that.

02:37People have to clearly understand.

02:39Negotiation means asking their forgiveness.

02:42This whole negotiation is to ask their forgiveness.

02:45So nobody in the, I mean, you have to understand.

02:48If somebody comes and kills somebody in my family and they will come and tell me how

02:51much money you want.

02:52No, that is not, I mean, people are misunderstanding in India.

02:56That is not negotiation.

02:59Negotiation is to ask the forgiveness from that family.

03:03On the sidelines, when that is happening, if the family and the tribe is willing to

03:08forgive, then the blood money will be negotiated as per the Sharia.

03:13So we will not talk about money at all.

03:15We will not talk about money at all.

03:17We will ask the family to forgiveness.

03:19That is what we will be asking them.

03:21Once they are willing to forgive, then as per the Sharia law, there is a blood money

03:26that has to be given, which will be negotiated on the sidelines between the sheikhs.

03:30Our negotiating sheikh and that family sheikh and all those people, they will decide on

03:34something and they will let us know.

03:36The government of Yemen has not put any restriction.

03:39As a matter of fact, we have met Nimisha twice and we were planning to meet her in

03:45the first week of January, which we will be doing.

03:48So we have complete access and maybe mother can speak more about it.

05:09The government of India is, actually Nimisha is alive because of the government of India.

05:28You have to know that.

05:29There have been two letters that the government of India has given.

05:32one in 2017, the Indian government gave a letter that she should be brought to the due

05:38legal process.

05:40So that is why the legal process started for her.

05:43And number two, now recently, about seven months ago, the government of India had given

05:48a letter to the government of Yemen to postpone the decision of the Supreme Court, which was

05:55execution so that we will have time to negotiate with the family.

05:59So the Yemen government honoured that and gave us more than six months time, they gave

06:07us the time.

06:08So and now, since yesterday, the government is very actively involved.

06:12I had several meetings with the government of India.

06:16The government of India is very actively supporting in whatever way that they could support, they

06:22are supporting it, supporting us.

06:24Our negotiations stopped in 1st of August.

06:27So now we are going to restart it.

06:28There is some positive indications.

06:30We haven't got a complete picture about that.

06:33So by today or tomorrow, we will have a clearer picture.

06:38We are now trying to restart what stopped in August.

06:43So but there are positive indicators.

06:45There are some positive indicators.

06:46Yes.

06:47Brother, there is only one target now.

06:49There is a window of opportunity.

06:51Now we have to convince the family not to give consent for the execution.

06:56That is the only hope.

06:57There is no other way.

06:59So if we cannot convince the family, then our mission will fail.

07:04So that is the only opportunity that is available and we are trying to catch that opportunity.
