Laid face down, heartmarked with a stethoscope, then shot point blank.
00:04
This is how Yemen carries out executions.
00:06
The execution of Kerala origin nurse Nimisha Priya, scheduled for July 16 in Yemen, has been postponed.
00:11
However, Nimisha stands convicted of killing her business partner and dismembering his body.
00:16
In Yemen, the death penalty is often enforced through public executions, with shooting being the most common method.
00:21
In an interview with Time, an executioner who claims to have killed over 300 people described the process.
00:26
According to the Yemeni executioner, the prisoner is laid face down on a tarpaulin, with their arms stretched beside them.
00:32
A doctor with a stethoscope locates the heart on the prisoner's back and marks the exact spot.
00:37
Before the execution takes place, the verdict is read out loud.
00:40
The family of the victim is allowed to either forgive the prisoner or allow the execution to proceed.
00:44
If the family chooses to forgive, the executioner lifts the weapon and fires into the air, signaling mercy.
00:50
But if the family remains silent, the execution proceeds.
00:52
The executioner aims directly at the red marked spot on the prisoner's back.
00:56
Then, a round of bullets is fired.
00:58
Despite a blood money offer being made, Nimisha Priya has not yet been pardoned.
01:02
The victim's family continue to withhold forgiveness, keeping her fate uncertain.
