New Delhi: Former Supreme Court Judge Kurian Joseph will be leading the legal team to seek the release of Keralite Nimisha Priya, who is facing death sentence in Yemen.

Justice Kurian Joseph said he is ready to face any difficulties to save a person. The team, led by Justice Kurian Joseph, will also coordinate discussions with the family of slain Yemeni citizen Talal Mohammed.
