New Delhi/IBNS, July 16 -- The brother of the Yemeni man killed by Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya has opposed pardon of the convict for the crime, media reports said.

Abdelfattah Mehdi, the brother of Talal Abdo Mehdi, said Nimisha has to be executed, NDTV reported.

Nimisha Priya, whose execution was set to be held in Yemen on Wednesday, has been postponed following detailed negotiations.

The Centre on Monday said it had exhausted all its options to prevent the execution of Nimisha, who has been sentenced to death by Yemen.

"There is not much the Government of India can do," the Attorney General told the court and added as quoted by the broadcaster, "We tried whatever was possible... we tried our best without going very public about it."...
