Sudanese woman sentenced to death for her Christian faith will be set free
A 27-year-old woman sentenced to death last month for converting from Islam to Christianity in Sudan has been released from prison.
27-year-old Meriam Ibrahim, who was sentenced to death last month for converting from Islam to Christianity in Sudan, has been released from prison.
The case of Meriam Ibrahim, a Sudanese woman who is married to a Christian American, triggered an international outcry. She gave birth to a baby daughter while in prison.
‘The appeal court ordered the release of Mariam Yahya and the cancellation of the (previous) court ruling,’ Sudan’s SUNA news agency said. The couple’s 20-month-old son was also held in prison with Ms Ibrahim and her newborn daughter.
Ibrahim was sentenced to death on May 15th but when the sentencing hit international airwaves activists went into action to stop it.
After international pressure a government official said on May 31 that Sudanese officials were working to release her.
